> I want privacy hostile companies like Facebook to have to comply with the app store rules and respect system settings relating to privacy. Just as a general reminder, I heavily recommend that you not install Facebook on your phone even if you have an iPhone. There are good things Apple is doing with enforcing privacy controls, the controls aren't useless, but there are still loopholes: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/04/a-year-after-apple-enforces-app-tracking-policy-covert-ios-tracking-remains/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/04/a-yea... To provide a counter silver-lining to the concerns here, I'm hoping that if iOS gets sideloading that maybe apps like NewPipe could start becoming more commonly available for iOS users. Right now, iOS is sort of stuck in this middle ground where Apple does legitimately do some excellent work reducing the privileges of apps, but also... you still have to use those apps if you want access to the services. It would be good to see more unofficial clients for some of these services like NewPipe or Twire get better support like they have on Android. I'm not knocking Apple here, they're trying to hit a middle ground between accessibility and privacy, but I don't want people thinking that the iOS version of Facebook isn't still tracking them. It's (hopefully) tracking less than it would on Android, but it's still tracking.
