Do you have a source for this?

Android has one too: https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/ads/identifier/AdvertisingIdClient https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/ads/identif...
- lapser 4y agoThat's a device specific identifier. That's not labelling users on device.
- whatever1 4y agoI just opened Apple News, it has a for you page and it shows me articles that are interesting to me (tech and cars), and a nice ad below them for cheap car loans. How did the Apple server know what articles to serve me? I never asked for them explicitly. So I was labeled as a user that likes tech news and cars, and the server automatically sends me stuff relevant (articles & ads) to these labels.
