Apple's Power Move to Kneecap Facebook Advertising Is Working
Good. The website imore reported earlier this year that 96% of people in the US had opted out of tracking.<p>It’s almost as if no one wants this “feature” Facebook has been “providing” and given information about it and a choice have roundly rejected it.<p>I can’t wait to see what some of Apple’s other initiatives like the anti-tracking features in Mail on iOS 15 and the upcoming iCloud Private Relay do to the industry.<p>Hell, US intelligence agencies block ads at the network level because the ad industry is so infested with tracking&#x2F;malware&#x2F;spyware&#x2F;exploits&#x2F;etc. That’s a hell of an indictment.<p>Of course any time someone looks into it they find that that click-rate fraud is at outrageous levels. So maybe no one needs Apple. The fraud bots will keep the ecosystem running. &#x2F;s<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imore.com&#x2F;96-iphone-users-have-opted-out-app-tracking-ios-145-launched" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.imore.com&#x2F;96-iphone-users-have-opted-out-app-tra...</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;article&#x2F;93ypke&#x2F;the-nsa-and-cia-use-ad-blockers-because-online-advertising-is-so-dangerous" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en&#x2F;article&#x2F;93ypke&#x2F;the-nsa-and-cia-use-a...</a>
