In a call with investors Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, said the company is working “to mitigate the impact of the iOS 14.5 update”.

On Tuesday, a Wall Street Journal report showed Apple’s own ad products may benefit from the new update that disadvantages Facebook. “Apple is a company very focused on controlling its own products and services, and they view Facebook as undermining that.” “It’s more about control of the industry,” he said. Neither of those narratives is exactly accurate, said Gautam Hans, an intellectual property and privacy law professor at Vanderbilt University.


Facebook has described the update as an attack on small businesses that rely on its advertising models – even releasing a number of television commercials on the matter – while Apple has positioned itself as a privacy savior.
