CfA's August 27, 2021 Newsletter


Thank you for your continued support of CfA. We're dedicated to continue working to hold the powerful accountable.


This Week:

  • TTP Investigation: Apple’s App Store Loopholes Put Children at Risk: On Wednesday, the Tech Transparency Project (TTP) released a report revealing major weaknesses in Apple’s App Store child safety measures, which allow minors to easily access adult content such as pornography, dating apps, and gambling. (Press Release, Report)
    • Using an Apple ID for a simulated 14-year-old, TTP examined nearly 80 age-restricted apps on the App Store and discovered that the underage user could easily evade the apps’ age restrictions in the vast majority of cases, often with minimal effort.
    • The report was covered by The Guardian, The Register, and others.
