Hi there!
This is my weekly installment of Monday Conversation Starters. The place where I share my favorite tech and business news from the week, so you can have some fun conversations on Monday.
My Top Headline:
DuckDuckGo has been after Google this week over privacy concerns
Over the last few weeks, Google has been updating their iOS apps to be compliant with the new App Store policy of “Privacy Labels”. These labels require developers to disclose what kind of data the app collects from its users.
This new policy went into effect late last year, and Google intentionally stopped updating their iOS apps the day the new policy went live. Now a few months later, we’re finally getting to see the kind of data Google collects.
If you’re an iPhone user, I encourage you to go to the App Store and check out the privacy labels for apps like Chrome and Gmail. The amount of data being collected is astonishing, and has me wondering if I should start the process of switching off of Google Chrome as my primary browser.
