Following in the footsteps of iOS 14, Google is rolling out an app privacy section to the Play Store on Tuesday. When you look up an app on the Play Store, alongside sections like “About this app” and “ratings and reviews,” there will be a new section called “Data privacy & security,” where developers can explain what data they collect. Google showed off this feature last year, and it will finally start appearing in the Play Store today.

      I think Google genuinely wants no other company except Google to know everything about you :)

      And Apple currently sees privacy as a differentiator (I believe Apple genuinely believes that privacy leads to profit), but Siri was awful for so long that I can’t help but wonder if their current privacy stance evolved out of a need to make lemonade out of lemons
