I think that Apple should insist that webviews used this way identify themselves via JS as monetization containers, with clear definitions for when and why subject to App Store review. Done.
- nmacias 4y agoI get that idealists will be up in arms about user-agent based self-censorship and still feel this way. It’s reversible immediately if it was proven to be harmful.
- bee_rider 4y agoIDK it seems like a problem between the ad networks and the developers. What motivation does Apple have to fix it? It seems like it benefits both of their customers -- the third party developers and the end consumers. Isn't Apple engaging in a war against the ad networks? They should do all they can to facilitate this -- add a special type of embedded browser window to their OS that has garbage cookies/fingerprinting info and is rendered off-screen.
