Apple is taking active steps to block Facebook's data collection practices. The announcement is Apple's most significant counter yet to Facebook's data collection practices, and comes after years in which Apple executives have criticized Facebook as reckless with user privacy. "We've all seen these like buttons and share buttons," Apple software VP Craig Federighi said at the company's annual developer conference. Apple has put a premium on user privacy for years. In addition to the new privacy measures, Apple also introduced new features that will encourage users to limit the amount of time they spend on their phones.
