Koo is an Indian microblogging platform that offers a Twitter-like experience in Indian languages, many ministers have tweeted to come and join them on Koo. A French security researcher Robert Baptiste, who goes by the pseudonym Elliot Alderson has exposed Koo and said that the platform is exposing your personal data such as email addresses, names, gender, and more. On the request basis, Baptiste spends 30 min on Koo and then he found out about this problem.
He said it is fairly easy for him to find out the personal data of people on Koo.

Baptiste shared some screenshots in which we can see how personal data has been leaking out. Baptiste also said Koo had a domain registered in the US with the registrant based in China.
