Apple has come out against Facebook over data privacy.

Apple CEO Tim slotxo Cook enters the social network on "Exploitation of information"Apple CEO Tim Cook used an appearance on Thursday's Virtual International Data Privacy Day dashboard to attack Facebook with a thin jab and called for data privacy reforms around the world, Cook's speech, according to reports that appeared. Earlier in the day, the social media giant was preparing an antitrust lawsuit against Apple over updates to the iPhone maker's privacy policy, potentially adding a significant level of the feud between Two tech giants

"If a business is made up of users who are misleading about exploiting data using no choice, it doesn't deserve our praise, it deserves reform," Cook said in a reference. Noteworthy about Facebook “The social dilemma cannot be let down to be a social disaster.Cook's presence on the panel preceded the release of Apple's privacy policy changes for iOS 14 apps, and a day after Google announced that its apps would comply with new regulations. Under Apple's new policy, apps displayed in the App Store are required to notify users if they are using an advertiser tracking technology called IDFA and obtain the consent of the user.

During the poll, Cook called for more consumer privacy protections and broader industry reforms. He touted Apple's policy, known as App Tracking Transparency, and new transparency measures from the company.The first is a very simple concept. But it's a revolution that we call a privacy label.Every app, including our own, has to share the data collection and privacy practices that the App Store offers in a way that all users understand and act. Yes, "Cook said, nodding to Facebook's allegations that Apple's apps do not necessarily play according to privacy rules.

Cook said Apple users have long asked for features such as app tracking transparency, and Apple has worked closely with developers to give them time to use the transparency feature as the company continues to shift to. Continuously reduced overall data collection reform. At this point, users may not know if the apps they use to pass check-in times with friends or find places to eat may pass on information about the photos they take.

Spread of misinformation What are the consequences,” he asks, “prioritizing conspiracy theories and violent incitement simply because of high rates of participation? What are the consequences, not just tolerance? But what about rewarding content that undermines the public's trust in vaccination, saving lives? The result of seeing thousands of users join an extremist? "

While it did not confirm that the company was preparing an antitrust lawsuit against Apple, Facebook opposed Cook's speech in an email to CNET.As we have said over and over again, we believe that Apple is acting against competition by using the App Store controls to benefit their bottom line at the expense of app developers and small businesses," said a spokesperson at Facebook said. The response echoed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's comments on the company's profitable call on Wednesday. Apple has an incentive to use outstanding platform locations to disrupt the functionality of our apps and other apps, which they routinely follow to their own preferences
