Facebook vs Apple: Zuckerberg’s staff sides with Tim Cook in privacy debate

In Mark Zuckerberg’s privacy feud with Apple, reports suggest that Facebook employees are siding with the iPhone maker, saying that Facebook uses small businesses on its platform to hide its bad privacy practices.

Within its latest software update iOS 14, the Cupertino-based company released a feature that bars all apps, including Facebook, from tracking user data without their permission, something that drew sharp public criticism from the social networking giant.

The Financial Express cited reports quoting a Facebook employee as saying that the staff was unhappy with the company’s move to criticise Apple’s new update publicly. The staff also reportedly said that Facebook was trying to justify its questionable practices by exploiting people.
