They sue Apple for selling data of their iTunes users

iTunes

Apple is currently the world's most valuable technology company, and everyone wants to profit of the immense amount of money you have at your disposal. In recent years, we have seen how almost every month, even sometimes weeks, Apple's law firm receives a new lawsuit.

Previously we informed you of the case of a widow who won a lawsuit against Apple in which the Cupertino boys had the obligation to allow access to your late husband's iCloud account. It is currently facing a demand of greater relevance and affects the application store, as Apple is accused of monopoly. But there are also other types of lawsuits like the one we inform you below.

One of Apple's most talked-about Apple campaigns in recent years, titled "What happens on your iPhoe, stays on your iPhone" does not appear to include MacBooks and other devices running iTunes, although logically they should be. Three people, whose identities have been revealed, have filed a lawsuit against Apple for selling iTunes user data to third parties.

The lawsuit was filed in California and accuses Tim Cook's company of sell data about the music they listen to your users along with the links they click and the music they add to their personalized playlists. Logically, Apple collects this data for its streaming music service, in order to improve its recommendation system, but from there to sell it to third parties ...

Being Apple a strong advocate for privacy within the tech community, makes this case quite ironic right off the bat. Apple has taken on organizations like the FBI just to show how much they care about the privacy of their users. In addition, one of the pillars on which Apple's advertising campaigns are based is the security and privacy of the users who use their devices.
