2019-01-30 | Google will stop peddling a data collector through Apple’s back door – TechCrunch
'But rather than taking seven hours to respond as backlash swelled like Facebook, Google managed to get things sorted in a little under three. '
'Unlike Facebook, Google is much more upfront about how its research data collection programs work, what’s collected and that it’s directly involved. '
'We’ve yet to hear back from Apple, but Google moving quickly to cancel its iOS Screenwise Meter might save it from further punishment. '
'The company said in a statement to TechCrunch:“The Screenwise Meter iOS app should not have operated under Apple’s developer enterprise program — this was a mistake, and we apologize. '
'After we asked Google whether its app violated Apple policy, Google announced it will remove Screenwise Meter from Apple’s Enterprise Certificate program and disable it on iOS devices. '
