Apple, Facebook s Frosty Relations Have Origins In Cook Confronting Zuckerberg Over Data Privacy Back In 2019: NYT Benzinga 3 hrs ago
Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL) CEO Tim Cook warned his
Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) counterpart to delete third-party data about users in 2019, The New York Times reported Monday.
What Happened: The conversation between the two tech leaders reportedly took place at the Sun Valley gathering in Idaho at a time when Zuckerberg was grappling with the Cambridge Analytica Scandal, which involved a data compromise involving 50 million users of the social network.
Cook is said to have told Zuckerberg “acidly” that Facebook should delete any information it collected about people outside of its core apps.
Apple agreed to delay the roll-out in September 2020 after considering the effect it would have on Facebook’s partners, although the two companies have since traded a series of barbs on the matter.
Apple, for instance, slammed Facebook’s business model in November after privacy groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) pressured the firm to explain the delays to the rollout of these privacy features. Facebook responded by shining the spotlight on Apple’s own privacy issues, namely the fact that the iPhone manufacturer faces legal action over alleged tracking mechanisms fitted into its devices.
The latest iOS update also includes a number of other changes and security fixes, such as support for the newly launched AirTags, alongside functionality to unlock your phone using an Apple Watch when you’re wearing a mask. With iOS 14.5, users can also take advantage of accessibility options, changes to Apple Music and improvements to Apple Wallet.
