Fakespot is a fairly well-known service that spots fake product reviews on several major online shopping platforms. It takes the form of a application or a browser extension. However, it is obviously not to taste from amazon, who managed to convince Apple to remove it from the App Store.

This removal follows a recent update that changed the way the app works. The Verge managed to get explanations from Apple and from amazon. Since the update, Fakespot on iOS works as an overlay that modifies the comments that are displayed. This would violate Apple’s 5.2.2 directive which requires developers to obtain permission to display third-party content, which it did not.

Apple cites a lack of authorization, Amazon security problems …

This is not the only app to display sites, however. Web via an internal browser. Amazon justified by stating that Fakespot injects code into its site, which makes it vulnerable and can potentially expose customer data. In addition, the giant accuses the application of displaying misleading information on sellers, and indicates that Amazon is much better able to spot and remove fake reviews based on information only available internally.

The problem of fake reviews on merchant sites is very common and Fakespot is one of the biggest critics of Amazon’s system, which is certainly why it has been targeted. The application Android de Fakespot is however still live, but it is a much older version which has not been updated since January 2020.
