What Apple is doing here is the free market solution to invasive tracking. The GDPR was the government's solution to that.
I'd much prefer the Apple solution which allows for a company to be _rewarded_ for taking a voluntary stance (a positive one!) on tracking, instead of coercing every business to follow a government mandated rule on something as relatively minor as advertising.
- simion314 5y agoWhat Apple is doing is limited. A law will force everyone (not limited to websites or mobile apps) to disclose if they track you, what data they track and who they share it with. What Apple is doing is also a recent thing, so before this fancy privacy labels the market had no solution. Let me know all the downsides to a transparency law and for each downside specify who is affected by the transparency.
