It's called APNS, and the evidence is in the network traffic of every M1 mac and every iOS device. This isn't a secret, the way APNS works has been documented for years. Would you like a pcap? I can send you a pcap.
I would like a pcap.

> Nobody cares that small businesses benefit from targeted FB ads except FB and small businesses, customers certainly don’t, users don’t. This is about Facebook, not small businesses. There is little evidence that small businesses will be significantly impacted by this. I'm sure some ad-supported developer firms will be hit, but most small businesses won't notice this.
They get hit indirectly, not because the small businesses sell ads - but because they buy targeted ads on Facebook (and those targeted ads work). Edit: Smaller companies also rely on these IDs because they aren't able to track in other ways in the way that the large companies can. That said, I still think this ad-driven model is bad and if it became non-viable I'd hope long term privacy restrictions would also make i…
If you run an Italian restaurant, how does this impact you? You can still sell advertising to Facebook users in your area because Facebook itself has your location. Facebook still knows you eat at Italian restaurants every Tuesday night because they buy your credit information.
Facebook still has piles of user information to sell targeted advertising against. So tell me again, how is this impacting small businesses advertising?
Note that this article is from 2010, 3 years before Apple joined the NSA's PRISM program approx 6 months after Steve Jobs passed. Jobs reportedly wouldn't go along with it. The data flow is much different now. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants... How about hardware implants? https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2013/12/30/the-nsa-rep...

" If John had bought the ice cream using Apple Card, his bank would not use his transaction information for marketing purposes. Had he used Apple Pay, Apple would have used on-device intelligence so that John could view his transaction history on his iPhone without Apple obtaining information about where he shopped, what he purchased, or how much he spent. " Without Apple knowing maybe but not without Mastercard/VISA knowing everything anyway?

> Other than in direct responses to attacks by Facebook, where has Apple even used Facebook’s name? They don't have to use the name. Everyone including the news media knew that Apple was implying Facebook.
I’m not sure that’s true. All of Apple announcements seem to more broadly target the large data brokers you’ve never heard of. Facebook seems to be making themselves look like the target for browny points, that plus their recent data fuckups means they’re probably the first name that pops into people heads when you say “abuse of peoples data”. But that’s just an inditement of Facebooks dodgy data practices, not evide…
> I don’t think Apple gives a shit about Facebook. Why the hell would they? There’s no profit in targeting them specifically.
I think you answered your own question. :-) Facebook is a convenient punching bag. Which is the point of an Orwellian enemy, who isn't actually an enemy except for the need of some enemy.
" If John had used Apple Maps to check the traffic, his location data would have been linked to a random identifier, which is regularly reset and not linked to John. As a result, no one but John would end up with knowledge of his location. " Well, no-one except your cell provider of course which knows precisely where you are anyway and will use and sell this data anyway. " If John had bought the ice cream using Apple…
You seem to be suggesting that just because some data leaks which is outside Apple's control that it's ok for all data to leak? But that makes no sense.

But we knew that. It's for Joe Public.

I'm missing your point here. You seem to be suggesting that just because some data leaks which is outside Apple's control that it's ok for all data to leak? But that makes no sense.
Edit: And adding that some of the data in question is in Apple's control (the IMEI for instance that could also be randomized/changed).
Apple knows they're going toe-to-toe with Facebook, and they don't seem to plan to lose.
Well, it’s because it’s a winning strategy to anyone who remotely gets concerned or paranoid about being spied on.

> If ads are just restricted to intent based on page/video/query, small advertisers lose out on effectiveness Any research proving this?
Just quoting FB's wording and my hunch. As the other commenter gave an example, if you have a niche product which only a fraction of people would be ever interested in, it would help if you can know who those are, and restrict targeting to them. I can search for knitting needles or be viewing a knitting post on Instagram. If an artisan needle seller wants to target his product it doesn't help targeting people who are…
Any reason this wouldn't work?
