Is this Hacker News? This is way bigger than Meta. Should individuals have the freedom to access to their own phone data without needing to be a device manufacturer? Or should we depend on case by case approval of access that is outside of the users hands and something only big companies can do? Framing it as being about `Apple vs Meta` is exactly the line of thinking that Apple wants, and it does a disservice to real Apple users, who have repeatedly been locked into a ecosystem where they have little control of their own data, where even sharing photos over Bluetooth isn't even an option! It's so locked in it's really unreasonable to frame this as being about Meta. Of course users should be able to give none / empty / fake or even real data to Meta if they so choose. But really this is about Apple, user rights, the EU, and a more fair playing field. If you read the PDF Apple put out, they are not offering any kind of middle solution, they are just saying they will, as usual, review case by case device partnership opportunities as it pleases them.
