In a recent update of Apple iTunes recent privacy problems emerged. This was followed by a storm of criticism. Apple has now tweaked the software to show that they are sensitive to the privacy concerns of their users – or maybe its that they are sensitive to criticism.
The EFF write
It is now offering a new update to the program that is a bit more privacy-friendly. A dialog box now asks you for your permission to activate the feature, and says that Apple does not keep any information related to your music library.
However privacy concerns still remain according to the EFF since some users have experienced that iTunes transmits its unique identifier the Apple ID.
