>the mere existence of a massive store of all this data presents a very real risk to users You're assuming this massive store exists with no evidence for it. One of Apple's central tenets with regard to privacy is that all the telemetry is done on device and never leaves the device except in an anonymized form. Based on what's been shown, this is still accurate. Apple is able to still collect data about how its users behave without any data that's tied to an individual. >The lawsuit alleges that Apple is not subject to the same restrictions it imposes on others. That is not evidence that this is true. From the lawsuit itself, they seem to be misunderstanding both how that info is used and how users have consented to it. I don't have enough information to say for certain but, based on the way the article and others are talking about the data and the video that's been presented that shows what data is being sent, there seems to be a misunderstanding between the settings that Apple provides that are meant to prevent cross-application and cross-site data collection with data collection from a single source. Additionally, I think they're making an assumption that the IDs being sent to Apple are shared across applications because I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that that's the case. That means that, unless some evidence is presented that proves it is being shared across apps, Apple is being truthful in what it's saying. It's collecting anonymized data that is then aggregated. >to remain immune to those exact restrictions. Again, that's not what has been shown so far. Until it's actually shown, rather than assumed, that Apple is using this tracking information across apps or across sites, Apple is doing what they say they're doing in their privacy policies.
