Apple with new privacy features that damage Facebook

The company from Coopertino had much to say about cyber security and privacy during the recent W conference. WDC 2018.

Although some of Apple's software concessions were small, the company's focus on cyber security and privacy was aggressive.

The main priority of this sector is what Apple calls the Prevention of Intelligent Following, the technology the company has included in the Safar browser. This feature will warn you whether the page has implemented objects like the “Licke” or the Facebook comments box.

Safar will give you a better idea when someone follows you online and warns you using a window.

Although Facebook was not appointed after announcing new privacy characteristics, the social network has had an intimate relationship with advertisers throughout history, giving them access to the personal data of millions of users for targeted advertising. Fingerprints will harm advertisers, but also Facebook.

Another feature that could be more harmful to Facebook is App Limits. This new trait for iOS 12 should encourage people to use their equipment less, providing access to data as long as they spend on special apps. App limits also allow you to set deadlines for their use, closing them when the deadline arrives.

“Less time spent on Facebook means less revenue from ads”, said Michael Fauscette, lead researcher at G2 Crown.

When you see how much time you've spent on the Fidedin news, setting restrictions on using Facebook is a different natural step, the Kosova Preris broadcasts.

Apple has already denied any charge of sharing Facebook data, integration with social networks, in which the company has put a lot of effort to promote it. Better integration with Facebook has once been a necessary feature, but it is time for Apple to become responsible.

These all present bad news for popular social network, but also good news for user privacy, even if they don't use Apple devices.
