It first will weaken security and privacy for common users. Walled garden is doing pretty good job at maintaining this.
- foepys 3y agoWhy? I'd argue that legislation like GDPR had more positive impact on user privacy than any walled garden managed by any for-profit entity. See Uber using the device ID even against App Store policy for years and not getting immediately kicked out after discovery [1] Apple's clampdown on Facebook came after GDPR and apparently wasn't a problem for years until Apple decided it was beneficial to their marketing and a way to push their own ads better. Rule of thumb is: when you are big enough, you can do basically anything you want when you don't talk about it. 1: https://appleinsider.com/articles/17/04/23/after-tricking-govt-regulators-uber-got-caught-breaking-apples-ios-app-store-rules https://appleinsider.com/articles/17/04/23/after-tricking-go...
