Ifluenz, which has been around 2015, is a marketplace that’s aiming higher. Their chief differentiator is that the vetting process doesn’t stop once an influencer has been accepted onto the platform. Built in to the platform is an algorithm that monitors each influencer account to look for irregularities—like sudden spikes in followers and engagement—that could be indicators of fraud. They’re also monitoring for conflicts of interest and just plain greediness: if an influencer is taking on too many projects that dilutes their—and the platform’s—value, and they run the risk of getting booted from Ifluenz entirely....

HTC issued via press release a statement of their feelings on Apple’s legal actions.
