After attacking Apple over iPhone, Meta slams Google
Meta Platforms Inc.’s revenue is taking a multi-billion dollar hit this year because its social networks can’t gather as much data on iPhone users. The company spent last year attacking Apple Inc. for the change; now it’s publicly calling out Google, too. The Facebook owner is alleging Alphabet Inc.’s Google, which also sells personalized ads on iPhones, has an unfair advantage under Apple’s new policies. Apps including Facebook have to ask users if they consent to being tracked, but Google’s search results and browser don’t -- causing some advertisers’ budgets to shift to Google for more effective targeting.
