@gruber@mastodon.social Advertising companies, including Apple, do not deserve the benefit of doubt on privacy. Apple has already been caught accessing the IDFA even when it is disabled for third parties "because we are not a third party". https://mjtsai.com/blog/2022/11/09/analytics-in-apple-apps/ I have collected other examples of abuse here: https://blog.majid.info/defang-apple/ Apple's alleged privacy protections are a sham, designed to kneecap advertising competitors, not protect user privacy.
