Apple's focus on privacy and user security continues to evolve, and sometimes that butts heads with other major companies out there. For instance, the companies who have built their business on gathering as much data as possible might not be happy with Apple's upcoming privacy-focused feature in iOS 14, which allows users to set limits on which apps can track them across other services and apps.
Privacy and user security is an important element for Apple, one of the major pillars of its business model. So it's not surprising that today the company has published a support document detailing what a user should do with their device(s) if their personal safety is at risk.
Facebook in the past two days took out two full-page ads in major US newspapers to try to push regulators into taking action against iOS 14's new ad-tracking controls, and now the iPhone maker's chief executive has responded to these attack ads with a tweet about privacy.
Less than 24 hours after it ran anti-Apple advertisements in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post newspapers in the United States, Facebook has now bought more full-page ads in an effort to have the general public support its stance on ad tracking.
It has been in the works for awhile now, but Apple has finally launched the App Store privacy labels for apps available in the digital storefront.
