These labels aren't provided by Apple so the very first sentence is nonsense.
This is self reported. Many developers probably don't even realize the Facebook SDK they included tracks their users and just looks at what they personally collect.
While its possible (likely apparently?), Apple doesn't verify this information, there is a strong chance they will at some point in the future. And falsifying this is likely a quick way to get booted from the App Store.
- tyfon 6y ago> Many developers probably don't even realize the Facebook SDK they included tracks their users and just looks at what they personally collect. I'd like to see a developer that does not know that facebook tracks you after everything that's been in the news. Even my almost 80 year old mother knows that.

- ogre_codes 6y ago> I'd like to see a developer that does not know that facebook tracks you after everything that's been in the news. I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about here. Facebook has been getting a lot of negative press, mostly about enabling hate groups. I haven't seen a ton of press talking about how including sign in with Facebook leaks tons of information back to Facebook. Lots of negative FB press, none that I can really think of that focuses on how their APIs drive their information dragnet. I have to wonder also how much of this gets lost in translation. If you are an Indian developer team, do you realize the implication of including the Facebook API?
