How about we regulate tracking apps etc first then force Apple to change?

This argument leads nowhere since it just as well applies the other way around.

Both are problems, both need solving.

  • no?

    removing/decreasing apples ability to police apps before regulation means you are opening users to hostile apps.

    adding regulation and setting standards for apps and data tracking and then removing/limiting apples ability to police apps does not.

    these are not the same thing?

    • Where are all these hostile apps on Android? Even the Facebook example, last I checked it's still on the Google's App Store.

      Cause there's plenty of examples of Apple's store filled with spam and outright fraudulent phishing apps. There's a big difference between the image Apple advertises for the App Store and what it's actually like.
