BackgroundThe lawsuit focuses on findings from security researcher and developer Tommy Mysk, who published findings in November, claiming that Apple apps are collecting and sending data regardless of whether or not the user consents to Apple collecting analytics data during the setup process of a new iPhone.Mysk said that both the volume and detail of data would be excessive even with consent, as it included everything needed for device fingerprinting – a technique used by companies like Meta as a workaround to App Tracking Transparency.It should be noted that Apple explicitly forbids such workarounds in its developer guidelines.He added that, even with consent, “the level of detail is shocking for a company like Apple,” but it was even more concerning that it happened regardless of agreement.‘Systematic violations of state wiretapping, privacy, and consumer fraud laws’Apple was hit with a class action lawsuit shortly after the Mysk findings were published, and now it’s facing another one."
