Thought Apple was the bastion of consumer privacy. Apparently removing TikTok though is not commercially beneficial for them
not to mention the elephant in the room: Apple Finds Its Next Big Business: Showing Ads on Your iPhone https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2022-08-14/apple-...
Apple hashes and sends over wire every bin you run, if that's a 'bastion' then RMS was right.
Ads and tracking aren’t inherently linked, it is possible to have one without the other. That’s allegedly what Apple is doing, so it doesn’t clash with the privacy commitment.
Even so, I disapprove of Apple’s forays into ads and wish them swift and hard failures in the area.
