@ 2023/02/24The privacy label system is corrupt
Firefox maker Mozilla released a study chiding Google for flaws in its Android Play Store app privacy label system.
The Firefox developer found many discrepancies between what app developers say on the Play Store and what's in each app or service's privacy policy.
The biggest offenders were games like Minecraft, Hitman Sniper, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Need For Speed: Most Wanted, Monument Valley, and more.
Social media apps also fared poorly in Mozilla's analysis. Facebook, Snapchat, and Twitter had the least accurate Play Store labels, while YouTube, Google Chrome, Gmail, WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, and Spotify did slightly better.
