Google's iPhone Tracking
Google and other advertising companies have been bypassing the privacy settings of millions of people using the Safari web browser on their iPhones and computers, tracking the browsing habits of people who intended for that kind of monitoring to be blocked.The companies used special computer code that tricks Safari's software into letting them monitor many users. Safari, the most widely used browser on mobile devices, is designed to block such tracking by default. Google disabled its code after being contacted by The Wall Street Journal.
