"We're shutting that down," declared Apple's software chief Craig Federighi, at the firm's developers conference.

Apple's chief executive Tim Cook had previously described Facebook's practices as being an "invasion of privacy" - an opinion Facebook's founder Mark Zuckerberg subsequently denounced as being "glib".

At the WWDC conference - where Apple outlines its software plans for the months ahead - Mr Federighi said that Facebook keeps watch over people in ways they might not be aware of.

What about Google? I can retrace my every move for the last 5 years thanks to my damn phone.

That's just so they'll know more about you than Facebook.

when I found out that I had activated this feature because, I was stunned and piseed..... But I kept it on

It's come in handy a couple of times. 5 years worth of my every move. Pretty crazy. Can even see map clusters if you open it on the computer, not the app.

Also these wars are interesting to me. Like the Google vs Amazon one that's been taking place.

Obviously won't happen but would love to see what Apple would FB pulled out of their app store.

All of the information that is getting “jammed” will be stored in a safe database...owned by Apple. Of course, they promise to be real nice and house all that information without using it for personal gain.

Apple doesn't store data like Facebook, Google, or Amazon. It's part of why Siri sucks compared to the other voice activated devices.
