Apple isn't in the business of exploiting your private data to advertise products/services/content from third parties at you though. The incentives are completely different.
- jonknee 14y agoSure they are, they're just not as good at it as Google is. Apple has built Facebook and advertising into iOS. Besides their own advertising network, Apple made support for third party tracking using the IDFA (ID For Advertising, it was created after they decided using the UDID for ad tracking was not ideal).
- jopt 14y ago> Apple has built Facebook and advertising into iOS That simplifies things in a very reductive way.
- spdy 14y agoThats why the have built-in facebook and twitter support. They sell you as well dont believe in fairy tales. And to be honest im fine with google having my data they have a solid record for keeping things in line.
- ryanpetrich 14y agoFacebook and Twitter support have to be explicitly activated in order to send any data to those parties. In the case of the optional Facebook contact sync feature, it even warns that the data in your contacts list will be sent to Facebook. When submitting a post to either Facebook or Twitter, including the location is optional and off by default.
- cma 14y agoMaking the location visible on your post is optional and off by default; sending the location is not, as far as I understand.
- ryanpetrich 14y agoLocation Services doesn't start up until the "Add Location" text is tapped. The best Facebook or Twitter could do would be to geolocate based on the IP address.
- themckman 14y agoDon't they own/operate the iAds network?
