Following the public release of Apple’s controversial App Tracking Transparency feature with iOS 14.5, users have chosen to not allow various apps to track them across third-party platforms. Now, as per recent reports, some iOS apps are forcing users to allow tracking by disabling basic app functionalities.
If you are wondering who’s the culprit here, eBay or Google? Well, Rob Leathern, the VP of Privacy product management at Google, responded to Dieter’s tweet earlier today. He says that “Google Sign-In doesn’t collect data for any tracking/ advertising purposes” in a tweet. So yes, eBay needs to figure out its strategy and not force users into letting the app track their digital activity.
