This guy is an Apple fanboy. How can you even argue in favour of its "privacy protections" when the OS has embedded advertising IDs you can only reset but not remove, logs and reports every application you launch to the motherboard, etc? The FB case is embarrassing, but let's not also drink the Apple kool-aid too.
- agloeregrets 6y agoThe embedded advertising is is designed to be a single point of data that resets on its own so that advertisers can only use it for fingerprinting. It’s a thin line to protect privacy without scaring away the whole industry and dear god, the Android situation is much, much worse.
- 3gg 6y agoLet's not kid ourselves; an OS with an advertising ID is an assault on people's privacy and basic computing freedoms. The android situation is much worse, yes, but apple is still giving in to surveillance capitalism and nothing they do short of staying away from it can be regarded as a "privacy protection". Their advertising ID endorses surveillance, it does not protect you from it.
