I find the last few paragraphs about Apple and Webkit to be super... ad hominem? "Apple is taking a stance with Webkit to be absolutist, but Apple violated the privacy of their users with Siri, so why should they be absolutist about Webkit" I really didn't follow that or think it was relevant to the actual discussion around tracking protection at all.
I understand the point about 'gray area', however there is truly a difference in power here, and end-users are never accurately informed about what of their data is available to 3rd party advertisers. In fact, I don't think content producers like Stratechery know what data ad trackers track and how it's used.
There is a problem about funding good content like Stratechery, but surely mass surveillance by private corporations isn't the only option?
