The clipboard detection in iOS 14 isnt simply prompting developers to reassess app personal privacy– its also putting these companies in legal trouble. Reuters reports that iPhone user Adam Bauer has actually sued LinkedIn over claims the job-focused social network “secretly” check out iOS clipboard information frequently, including the Universal Clipboard that shares copied material with close-by gadgets. The Microsoft-owned firm was spying on users, according to the suit, and presumably broke California law while doing so.
Weve asked LinkedIn for remark. A representative previously said LinkedIn doesnt store or transmit clipboard information, and that it planned to fix the concern with an app update on July 14th. There was a flawed equality check between the clipboard and what you typed, VP Erran Berger stated previously.
