Phia's investor list includes a lot of celebs: Sidney Sweeney, Ice Spice, Halsey, the Chainsmokers, Khloe Kardashian, Jessica Alba, Alix Earle, Shaboozey, Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, Wendi Murdoch, Karlie Kloss, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, etc.

Edit- also here are the screenshots with the damning slack message receipts - interesting how the engineer initially said no and cited compliance concerns but was overruled: https://www.reddit.com/r/womenintech/comments/1vm3yhq/phia_e...

You'd think after MegaLag's video on Honey that every company with a browser extension like this would be under the microscope and they would proactively stop any such practices to avoid the bad press and potential prison sentence.

If removing cookie stuffing would mean the business is no longer viable, great, shut it down. It was never a real business to begin with.
