  "People" in this case being their competitors for ad placement in traditional media which is writing these articles. :) Remember that you're reading this on newssites which have 100+ trackers installed so they can extract revenue from you as well... and they get paid more when they write these articles. It's not like they're poor innocent parties which won't benefit when FB/Google get cut down to size. (Many news-site traffic went up by as much as 30% when FB went down the other week.) Heck, when Apple added their "privacy" changes, their own advertising has profited massively: https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/18/apples-ad-business-windfall/ https://9to5mac.com/2021/10/18/apples-ad-business-windfall/ It's all black kettles yelling at other kettles.

    "People" meaning insiders and former employees ready to spill the beans. In the real world, not everything is a conspiracy.

    True. But the non-monopolistic kettles get MY vote.
