I have to assume these people are being intentionally dense to paint a picture that does not match up with reality. Won't anyone think of the poor facebooks of the world? Cry me a river. I trust Apple with targeted ads about a billion times more than I trust Facebook, Google, or any of the scummy fly by night ad networks. This entire twitter thread seems to start with the premise that Apple's ads are the same as FB's and I'm sorry but I just don't believe that for a minute. From the outside looking in it would appear that Apple's moves, while beneficial to them, are also very beneficial to end users. Facebook being hurt by these moves is simply icing on the cake, they are a terrible company doing terrible things with impunity, I won't shed a tear for them. People keep pretending that Apple is doing some kind of bait and switch and as if they are pulling back the curtain screaming "See!!! Apple's making money off ads!!! The hypocrisy!!!", spare me. Apple has never said they are anti-ad, they are anti-tracking and selling user's info which almost all these ad networks do (directly or indirectly). Things are not black and white, Apple can be anti-scummy ad networks AND have their own ad network at the same time. Those positions are not mutually exclusive. Wake me up if Apple starts selling data and/or if they break their own rules on how an ad network is allowed to run on their OS.
