Apple has repeatedly been subject to class action lawsuits in the United States for privacy issues! So far, there have been four
As we all know, Apple, as a giant in the mobile phone industry, is far superior to other similar manufacturers in terms of technology research and development, which is clearly reflected in the processor and operating system. However, even so, it is not perfect. Problems such as signal and privacy are also very annoying for Apple. After all, many things have happened because of this, for example, recently, Apple has been sued for violating user privacy in the United States!
On January 31,Apple recently suffered the fourth class action lawsuit in the United States due to the issue of App Tracking Transparency. After three class action cases in California, Pennsylvania and New York, Apple was again subjected to the fourth class action case in Northern California.
These class actions are mainly based on a report released by Mysk developers in November 2022, accusingApple, on the one hand, of requiring third-party companies to publish application tracking details, and on the other hand, of implanting device identifiers in anonymous information.
Mobile Cats learned that the fourth class action case was initiated by the plaintiff Julia Cima and filed a lawsuit in the Northern District Court of California. She believes that Apple has many violations of privacy law, competition and other acts, and protects the rights of affected users through class action.
The lawsuit pointed out that Apple "blatantly violated consumer privacy" and could not meet the requirements of users to limit data sharing. Apple restricts the use of identifiers and cross-application tracking by third-party applications, but still tracks users in its own applications when the transparency of application tracking is turned on.
The above is the specific content about Apple's repeated class action lawsuits in the United States due to privacy issues. Apple, as a leader, has repeatedly asked how many questions should not be asked about the most important privacy aspect of mobile phones. After all, the IOS system has always focused on privacy, and regardless of how it will be resolved this time, it will have a certain impact on Apple's reputation.
