TechCrunch reports a study conducted by Mozilla claims Google's privacy "nutrition labels" for mobile apps don't include all data collection practices by certain apps. The research from Mozilla's "Privacy not included" series alleges top apps on Google Play, including TikTok and Twitter, share user data with various third parties but do not disclose the practices in their labels. Mozilla also said Google is placing the burden of transparency on app developers.
