The company led by Mark Zuckerberg is preparing a lawsuit against Apple for monopoly reasons. In this way and if the rumors are fulfilled issued by The Information will join the one brought by Epic Games almost a year ago. The main reason to support this claim is that Facebook representatives allege that the new privacy systems require characteristics from third parties that are not required for Apple itself.
Facebook's legal representatives are preparing a lawsuit against Apple alleging that with the new security and privacy requirements in iOS and macOS, a banner is shown to the user when an application wants to track some type of movement in their life. Facebook claims that these needs It will be required from third companies but not from Apple itself. That is, when we use iMessage this banner will not appear.
The million dollar question is: How is that warning going to come out when using Apple applications if it is already known that Apple does not track its users? The basis of the claim thus seems at first glance that it is not very well founded. But we don't think Facebook's lawyers are going blind in this regard. In addition, the application also states that Apple doesn't allow third-party messaging apps to be installed as the default option.
The company lobbied Apple to allow users to choose the Facebook Messenger app as the default on iOS over iMessage in September of last year. It now claims that Apple doesn't allow other messaging apps to be set as default in an effort by preventing people from switching to competition.
