Its not just ads that are the problem, its that the data is even being invasively aggregated in the first place. I don’t believe APPL actually does Privacy to the fullest extent so much as they imply and boast about it. If that were the case, all their Apps and everything should have the No Data Collected checkmark or be limited to analysitcs and junk. They should never be collecting and claiming ownership over User Content and similar outrageous datagrabs
I agree, which is why I emphasized “mostly.” Apple still has an ad-wing. They just don’t rely on it almost exclusively for income, like Google. Ads are basically the only profitable arm of Google. Apple has an incredibly strong hardware wing with sales that justify it, allowing them to treat ads secondarily.
As I said at the end, the real issue is that ads shouldn’t be allowed at the OS-level and similarly an OS should be neutral and not collecting data. It’s there to be used by the user not to be dictated how the user uses by the company, as it is increasingly becoming.
