Apple presents itself as a white knight on the subject of privacy, but critics say its own advertising ambitions are built on anti-competitive practices.
Two developers going by the name ‘Mysk’ claimed last month that Apple was tracking users’ every tap on the App Store, with no way of disabling the function.
A class action lawsuit was subsequently filed in California, claiming that Apple’s promises regarding privacy are utterly false.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier said that Apple’s approach was a conflict of interest since it was designed to undermine rivals.
