Facebook Has Funded A Study That Says Apple Fails At Privacy

Following the implementation of Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency feature with the iOS 14.5 update, Facebook, amongst others, has been trying to bash the Cupertino giant for its “anti-competitive” policy. Now, as per reports, Facebook has apparently funded a study that suggests Apple’s new privacy-focused policy is harmful to other companies as well as users, and only benefit Apple.

However, Apple CEO Tim Cook, on multiple occasions, has said that the system apps on iOS, which are developed by Apple, do not track users on third-party platforms, unlike other apps. As a result, the App Tracking Transparency framework does not apply to its own apps.
