It's really hard to trust google on anything when it comes to ads and privacy. Will these changes stop Google from tracking and targeting you?
It seems that Facebook might have a much stronger case against Google here, since it's using its success in the smartphone OS market to hobble its biggest competitor in the digital ads market.
- poidos 5y ago> It's really hard to trust google... I feel the same way; very little chance Google stops this unless it doesn't affect them at all (either by having determined these identifiers aren't particularly effective, or by having cooked up some new scheme.)
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoBut of course it won't, this is a (similar to Apple's) play to reduce the amount of data other ad platforms get.
- manmal 5y agoApple’s tracking rules also apply to their own apps.
- disgruntledphd2 5y agoSure, but Apple have first party data on who you are and what you do on IOS, so they don't need IDFA. Google are similar on Android.
- swiley 5y agoYup, that's exactly what's going on here. Google wants exclusive root on the web the way it has it on the phones they rent to you.
- zo1 5y agoGoogle doesn't need to track you. They've shaped and driven the web to necessitate their own continued existence. They've also slowly been turning the web into essentially a walled-garden.
