well, thanks to the EU, it's going to apply to Apple real soon too. This is one of the things app store review and fully enforcable permissioning prevents (prevented).

So much for the "app store is like 1984" marketing spin that Epic put out lol. Now you have the freedom to have spyware installed on your phone... which is what I and many others have been saying all along. Not just abusive spouses but Facebook and others will be all over this.

As I said previously... Facebook and others already have this sort of spyware ready to go, because they were already using their developer credentials to get users to sideload it for data mining. Now it won't be optional/"we'll give you a gift card", it'll just be mandatory if you want to use Facebook on a ios device. Sorry this device is not supported via web, please install the native app.
