    Is Apple acting in bad faith? Sure they are. But except for Mozilla and Proton, I see nothing but violently unethical Evil Corps, that soak the merest click in more trackers and profiling than there are humanoids in our galaxy, that sell this data to everyone and their mothers, that force you to pay undivided to the worst of humanity, interspersed with ads for miscellaneous utter garbage and burn up poor brown people moderating the illegal stuff passing by in their “social” feeds.

    Probably because Apple a while ago, made it just a bit harder to track idevice users.

      Aside from the massive overreaction about those companies, I mean “violently unethical evil”?, it doesn’t really matter who is calling out the bad thing, does it? I guess because they are also bad guys, apple should just get away with it. Let’s get mad at them instead.

        Few people think a criminal would be a good judge, and so I don’t think e.g. Facebook should be talking about this without fixing their own misdeeds, not spend boatloads of money lobbying against it. All these big tech bros are currently doing is throwing mud at each other (Google complaining about RCS in iMessage while at the same time breaking it themselves) - literally none of them is making any significant changes. So yeah, I think they should shut the F up and start doing something themselves.
