Given that Safari doesn't even have a built-in ad-blocker, I doubt Apple will be leading the charge on this.

Such a move would also presumably be incompatible with Apple's highly lucrative search engine deal with Google.

    For business, our purchases clearly reveal self-deceptive practices, and dark marketing patterns certainly take advantage of that.

    For government, our voting preferences reveal that we want to be deceived. Although we often say good things that our social group memes us.
