Apple’s Ad-Tracking Rules A Cause Concern For Facebook?

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Recently as  per reports, Facebook Inc’s (FB) shares dropped lowest since July, after warning Apple Inc. (AAPL) new data collection restrictions might hurt its third-quarter results. The social media giant is already witnessing a decline in its digital advertising business after Apple implemented a software update to limit targeted advertising on iPhones.

The company said in a blog recent changes made by Apple to limit targeted advertising will “have a greater impact in the third quarter compared to the second quarter.”

The new rules require app users to explicitly say they are willing to allow their activity to be followed across the web. Apple has said the changes are designed to keep people’s privacy in mind. Meanwhile, Facebook claimed that the new rules will hurt small businesses as they rely heavily on targeted advertising and don’t spend on costly broad marketing campaigns. Small businesses contribute the majority of Facebook’s ad sales.

“Apple’s privacy changes are really hampering their ability to do personalized ads. And they really do need to do personalized data. They need to find people who like yoga and meditation in their particular part of the country,” stated Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg.
