It’s is indeed FUD season. Washington Post publishes more FUD about 5,400 iOS apps sending some kind of privacy data from Apple Devices to app publishers supposedly without informing the device’s users. . . But article does not inform readers that often the data is necessary for the app to work as designed such as location information for Uber or Lyft being enabled to pick up the app users. . . —PING!

Apple Privacy FUD from the Washington Post Ping!

Also makes you wonder if the “journalist” in question allowed all permissions. For example, apps now are required to give the option of whether an app can have access to your location (location services). They are required to ask for permission when you first launch the app. Further, you can turn off data to individual apps, as well as change the location services permissions at any time.
