During the recent period, the conflict between the social networking giant Facebook and the iPhone giant of the American company Apple has intensified. It has become public as it has become an open war in which the two parties used almost all weapons and the reason was the users."
A few days ago, the blue tick from Apple’s Facebook page, the mark that is given to public figures and companies, in order to indicate its authenticity and true identity. The mark remained absent from the Apple page on Facebook until Thursday morning, which means that the Apple maker became the owner of the page as normal as any page that a user creates in seconds.
, the communication giant kept the blue tick documenting the accounts of Apple's competitors such as Microsoft, Samsung, and others.
Last week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized the privacy updates in the operating system of Apple devices "iOS 14," which will enter into force, next year. It will give users the right to allow permission or not for applications to take them to advertising purposes, Facebook is one of the apps that track users.
We believe users should have the choice over the data that is being collected about them and how it’s used. Facebook can continue to track users across apps and websites as before, App Tracking Transparency in iOS 14 will just require that they ask for your permission first. pic.twitter.com/UnnAONZ61I

Zuckerberg said: "This step is very important to connect them with small companies that provide them with services that meet their needs."
The company added that this tracking procedure helps small companies everywhere in the world, noting that their number exceeds 10 million.
Apple: People have the right to choose!
This came in response from the communications giant to the statements of Tim Cook, Chief Executive Officer of Apple, in which he said that Apple believes that users have a right to have a choice about the data they collect about them and how to use it.
Cook said this in a tweet on Twitter, in which he included a picture from Facebook showing the latter's request for data about the user, and perhaps this is what angered Facebook.
It is noteworthy that if Apple decided to proceed with this option, this would constitute a fatal blow to Facebook's income, which depends on ads.
Usually, according to observers, many users prefer to cancel the ads feature across the sites, and they often express their anger at its presence. There are other voices that welcome ads to introduce them to everything new in various fields, and perhaps this difference will be the rule between the two parties in this technology dispute.
