Google also tends to go into code freeze mid-Dec until first full week of Jan (at least when i was there), but sure, let's assume it's all a plot to not conform to Apple's privacy labels https://t.co/fsPTirnn9j

Funny how american work culture seeps through these - Google has a production freeze over most of December because everyone is on vacation with their families.

Yes somehow american writers expect everyone to keep working and giving them updates. https://t.co/2gDqlx6ibS

Re: Privacy Labels. I think the Signal labels just show that developers don’t know how to answer the questions, or that at least they’re using different measuring sticks. How is it possible that ‘Contact Info’ is collected, but not ‘Linked to you’. It is you.

Honestly I wouldn't assume this is nefarious - they're obviously going to have to update them eventually anyway, they may just be waiting for 27 levels of long-vacation-taking corporate legal people to come up with an official company framework for dealing with privacy labels. https://t.co/3cHyV3UC32

It's also right around the time they often do the holiday production freeze. I wouldn't read into it just yet.

Yeah, when I was going through the questions for my own app, I kept thinking that some of the answers imply others. Shouldn’t Apple be reporting the closure?

Google, not being evil. Move along. Nothing to see here. https://t.co/nZ9u3a14zL

My report on Google's odd absence of iOS app updates since a particular date... ?? https://t.co/nO2XxAEYF3

The impact of Apple's upcoming privacy changes:
- Facebook and Snap face the biggest impact
- Twitter + Pinterest face a moderate impact
- Pinterest, Google, Amazon face the least impacthttps://t.co/kLYofDlp7F

Google appears to have stopped updating their iOS apps because doing so would force them to reveal all the data they're collecting on users to them. https://t.co/JpQkezVWol

Google’s iOS apps haven’t been updated in weeks. Could Apple’s privacy labels be the reason? https://t.co/lf6msPAZVZ
