Microsoft’s AI chatbot makes its way to smartphones Unfazed by the reported outbursts from its AI chatbot, Microsoft is bringing Bing on iOS and Android. Study finds discrepancies in Google Play Store data privacy labels A Mozilla study reported major discrepancies in Google Play Store data privacy labels. The report shared that data privacy labels for top apps are false or misleading with discrepancies being reported in nearly 80% of the reviewed applications. Safety labels for popular apps including Facebook and Twitter said they do not share users’ personal data with third parties; however, the app’s privacy policies were found to explicitly state that they share user information with advertisers, internet providers, platforms, and numerous types of companies. The study compared privacy policies and labels of the 20 most popular paid apps and the 20 most popular free apps on the Google Play Store.
