Because, as has already been explained ad nauseam, Apple's control measures are partly technological and partly contractual. If Apple catches you tracking users after users opt out of tracking, Apple will de-list you from their store.
If Meta can simply set up a different storefront (or directly side load), they merely have to follow the EU laws (which are less restrictive than Apple's).
- pizlonator 3y agoIt seems broken if the following things are true at once: 1) we agree that it is good for society that Meta (or others) aren’t allowed to violate your privacy 2) those rules are enforced by a megacorp (like Apple) as part of an everything-bagel of rules that they also profit from (some % cut of app revenue) If (1) is true then privacy rules should be enforced by governments, not by a megacorp everything bagel power grab. If (2) were true alone but (1) wasn’t true then it would make Apple’s enforcement of those rules even more obviously bad.
- Nevermark 3y agoMeta has already been forced to offer non-ad access to Facebook. I assume that is tied to a privacy guarantee (or it wouldn't make much sense - ads can be obnoxious but it is the unconsented surveillance that needs to be reigned in).
