With everything that happened during 2020, we still had a controversy around Apple: the new privacy policy. Apple renewed its policy giving the user the power to decide which apps should track the information of the iDevices users. Something good for users but that did not satisfy third parties such as Facebook… These have tried to pplow policy enforcement by all means, the last attempt through the competition regulator in France, who have declined the request. Keep reading that we give you all the details of this decision.
"We cannot intervene just because there may be a negative impact for companies in the Apple ecosystem"Isabelle de Silva, head of France's competition authority, said at a press conference. "In this stage, we have not found blatant examples of discrimination«. After this statement, from Apple they have commented the following, "We firmly believe that user data belongs to them, and that they must control when and with whom that data is shared.". That is why France will stop the investigation by not believing that this new policy harms third parties, Apple blocks it but we can remove the blockade if we need to.
Undoubtedly good news for all users of an Apple device, in the end the regulatory bodies are agreeing with Apple for what everything seems to go ahead so that with the official launch of the next iOS 14.5 let us users decide which applications can track our information and which cannot. eye! be aware that we have the last wordWe may even be interested in giving that permission to an app, but at least we have to have that power. And to you, What do you think of Apple's new privacy policy? Do you understand the anger of Facebook?
