Apple vs. Facebook Battling For Your Privacy
I discussed this issue with Omar Dabaghi-Pacheco on CBC Ontario Today on Tuesday, 01-Jun. Have a listen to our conversation and calls with concerned consumers around Ontario.

After years of quiet moves behind the scenes, Facebook came out swinging at Apple in December of 2020â¦
They took out ads in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times. The ads claimed that Facebook was standing up for small business against aggressive moves by Apple.
Given Facebooks’ “interesting” history with small businesses over the years, this was an interesting tactic. It’s fair to say that Facebook is stretching with this approach.
But why did Facebook take out this ad at all?
