Photo: AFPSan Francisco: Apple Inc. executives rarely call out Facebook Inc., but they made more moves on Monday to limit the social network’s data collection. This would also apply to tools such as like buttons and the comment sections of social networks, Apple executive Craig Federighi demonstrated during a presentation at the company’s annual developer conference. Still, Monday’s announcements are another step in a brewing spat with Facebook over privacy and data collection. While Facebook generates revenue from ads targeted with detailed information about users, Apple makes most of its money selling hardware products.
