Useful example of Saudi Arabia and the Absher app:
Absher - a government e-services app - is bad for women as it supports Saudi Arabia's strict male guardian system....Absher, which is available in the Saudi version of the Google and Apple online stores, allows men to update or withdraw permissions for female relatives to travel abroad and to get SMS updates if their passports are used, according to researchers.

Saudi women must have permission from a male relative to work, marry and travel under the ultra-conservative Islamic kingdom's guardianship system
