They have an app store they earn money from. They have ads system. For them websites are competition. Because people loose time elsewhere than in apps. They click other ads than theirs.
How should anyone believe these actions are for privacy? And not against competition? Against the Internet?
Have you seen any consideration how it will impact website owners? I didn't. It seems they really don't care. And it is very dangerous.
It looks like the path to break the Internet.
- turboturbo 7y agoThose are not mutually exclusive, both can be true
- macinjosh 7y agoWhy not both? The market is a brilliant system. Privacy is objectively good for users and so is competition as it can lead to lower prices and better products for users.
- rhizome 7y agoThe word "can" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
- lilyball 7y agoApple doesn't have an ads system, unless you mean the App Store ads that only show up in App Store search (and thus are completely unrelated to Safari). They had an ads system at one point but it was shut down over 3 years ago, and was for in-app ads anyway, not browser ads.
