Apple unhappy with apps that secretly record screen using Glassbox tech
- Terretta 7y agoCan’t link to original article on TechCrunch and peers because of new “guce advertising” redirects e.g.: https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId=xx... The App Analyst posts on e.g. Air Canada collecting card details via Glassbox are good: https://theappanalyst.com/aircanada.html https://theappanalyst.com/aircanada.html
- dangus 7y agoMore generally, I’d like to see companies be forced to disclose a list of third party integrations/companies that are used to build apps. But even disclosure isn’t necessarily enough because most people simply don’t care or understand those details. Universal standards need to be applied to activity data anonymization, security, and consent. It’s actually somewhat surprising to me that the tech industry hasn’t more aggressively self-regulated. The situation reminds me of how the ESRB was established, or how the motion picture industry self-censored after something like the 1930s. These industries understood that if they didn’t address complaints that governments would eventually write regulations for them. And you already see the results of the failure to self-regulate: the tech industry could have already saved itself a lot of work by avoiding laws like GDPR and CCPA in the first place.
