A while back I posted an article on the tiff between Facebook and Apple pertaining to some disclosure and privacy options Apple was adding to their iOS. Facebook figured that folks would not like being told which apps were going to collect data, and they might opt out of that. Turns out, Facebook was right. An article on that is HERE.
Basically, Apple was changing the way apps ran, letting the user know that an app wanted to collect data on you, and allow you to say NO! Apparently, a study has been done showing that worldwide, about 12% were willing. That will likely prove beneficial for Apple in that they appear to be more concerned with your privacy. Sounds great right? Well, yes and no. It's good PR anyway. The truth though, not so much. In 2015 Apple had a security breach for 128 million app downloads. They chose to not mention it. An article on that is HERE. It's a safe bet that huge corporations don't have my best interests in mind. The question becomes how much do I care, and what can I do about it? Well, it is a good question. I don't have an answer. Comments are closed.
