The immediate result of this is that publishers who don't want to play by Apple's privacy laws will only host their apps on alternative app stores. Want Facebook on your iphone? It'll only be available on the app store that has less strict privacy protections.
It's not seeking out and customizing my experience if the only choice is "have my privacy violated, or don't use the service. That's the experience that already exists on platforms with less strict privacy protections.

If the requirement for alternative stores is enshrined by laws written by Apple's competitors, you'd better believe it's going to be a lot more seamless than that. If this dystopia of Government control over my phone comes to pass, I personally predict that we'll see companies like Google, Meta and Adobe run company stores as the exclusive way to load their apps.
- neura 4y agoYeah, I was just thinking about this before reading what you said. Thinking about the possibility of Meta running their own store is a horrifying idea.
- throw457 4y agoYeah, because it totally works out like that on other platforms if epic didn’t have massive success of Fortnite to subsidize their store on pc no one would use it. Ea, Ubisoft, Bethesda, rockstar everyone of them came back to steam.
