Citation needed. Somehow there was an app economy before the rise of massive data aggregation.
It's going to slightly impact the people profiting from the mass surveillance economy until they figure out how to get around it. This does nothing to impact the vast input feeds of location and traffic data from mobile carriers and ISPs, transaction data from purchases, etc. It basically forces those wanting to market to customers using Apple devices to remove the cameras from their customers' bathrooms and figure out another way to discover they are out of toilet paper. The pissing and moaning is because the industry basically was able to use the laziest possible implementation to get this information, now they will have to do a little more work.

It was a tough business anyway, but the major advantage that they had was the ability to track at a device level and use that to be more efficient with their marketing spend. More generally, it's gonna make FB and GOOG less useful for small, niche businesses. The big players will be fine, but lots of smaller businesses are likely to do less well. Maybe the big players will do something to make cohorted ads work, but it will be less efficient and will lead to lots of small businesses having much more difficulty getting their products in front of the right people.
