> For TikTok, the results were even more mysterious: 13 of the 14 network contacts on the popular social media app were from third parties. The third-party tracking still happened even when users didn’t opt into allowing tracking in each app’s settings, according to the study.
It seems like Apple is lacking on tracking enforcement of privacy. This mobile marketing company can do this so I'm guessing Apple has the resources to do this properly. You could even do it for the largest 1000 apps.
- qqtt 5y agoBeyond removing the unique identifier that allows advertisers to track you across applications (IDFA), Apple really hasn't done much to enforce tracking via other means. Depending on who you talk to, they tacitly endorse any and all non-IDFA tracking even when users opt out. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/23/iphone-tracking/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/09/23/iphone-...
