How is this not just illegal? Surely there’s something in GDPR that makes this not allowed.

  iiuc, they do actually ask the user for permission

    Which is ironic considering that I strongly disagree with one of the primary walled garden justifications, used particularly in the case of Apple, which amounts to "the end user is too stupid to decide on his own". Unfortunately, even if I disagree with it as a guiding principle sometimes that statement proves true.

      It’s not about stupidity, but practicality. People can’t give informed consent for 100 ToS for different companies, and keep those up to date. That’s why there are laws.

    No doubt in a dense wall of text that the user must accept to use the application, or worse is deemed to have accepted by using the application at all.
