It's important to remember, they aren't stopping them from doing the overly-intrusive cross-app tracking, they just make you actively consent to an app allowing that tracking.
- hn92726819 4y agoI'm not familiar -- do you have to actively consent to Apple's tracking too? As in, do they give themselves some advantage over other ad platforms?
- novok 4y agoYou do have to consent, but there are many parts where they don't let you say no and continue using, while all third parties are forced to make you say no and to continue using. Apple is doing the classic "we don't share with third parties, we just collect a shit ton of data from everywhere and then make people buy our data indirectly via our ad sale services" like google and facebook do today. So it's not shared with third parties, but because of their scale it might as well be in effect size .

- selsta 4y agoThese two are not the same thing. Every app is allowed to serve you personalized ads, without asking. ATT is about cross app/site tracking between other companies, which is something Apple has never done.
