I have zero sympathy for Facebook and neither should you.
Schaaaaaaaadenfreude.
This feels like a publicity stunt, Apple does not sell privacy, they sell privacy theater.
I’m happy to see this tangible move towards privacy though.
I don’t usually say this, but good job Apple!
Good, too bad google probably won’t be copying the useful anti-privacy pieces into Android…
Pretty sure FB can handle losing 10% of part of their business.
Especially if this is true:
Facebook’s stock jumped more than 5% on the news. Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said the market sees Apple’s new rule as likely to shift demand toward Facebook’s own targeting system.

This, along with the ability to select default browser and email apps, could bring me back to iOS away from Google.
iOS restricts your freedom in far more ways, it’s not even possible to install apps unless they’re on Apple’s carefully curated store, which is anti-competitive and anti-free-software
