🎙️ Welcome to Episode 42 of This Week In Marketing Show 🎙️
We only have 5 updates this week and the last one is juicy one. You might have already caught onto the fact that we aren’t the biggest fan of facebook. Their ‘solution’ to Apple’s new privacy policy doesn’t make us like them anymore. While Google and Twitter have been very cooperative with Apple’s new terms, Facebook is throwing a fit. Google and Twitter have agreed to use Apple’s preferred network which offers more privacy to users. Because there is more privacy, users wouldn’t have to ‘opt in’ to the tracking. They just automatically get logged into Twitter and Google. Facebook, however, is refusing to use the new tracking program which means that users are now given the choice to opt in or opt out to the Facebook tracking.
In order to convince users to say ‘yes’ to Facebook tracking, they have developed a pop-up notification that warns the users that if they don’t say yes to tracking, they are harming small businesses who depend on the tracking for ads. Why don’t we like this? How is this one of Facebook’s dirtiest moves yet? Listen to the show to hear the down low straight from Sajid.
