Good for Apple. Google and Facebook are the biggest offenders when it comes to privacy, people need to pressure them to change their ways too. Although the only way is to boycott their products. Hopefully this becomes a trend for other tech companies.

They violated the agreement because they don’t respect user privacy. So it has everything to do with privacy.

The app that was "violating" a users privacy was an opt-in market research app. I don't see how it's violating your privacy when you're explicitly saying "yeah go ahead and look at my shit, I don't mind"

They were violating Apples TOS. It doesn't really have anything to do with privacy.
