Another thing that would follow Apple's requirements is just buying myweirdwebsite.com

This followup issue seems to have a more clear writeup, especially for someone like me who is a bit out of the loop when it comes to the PSL: https://github.com/privacycg/private-click-measurement/issue...
This is fascinating to see Apple and Facebook engineers politely yet publicly arguing over potential technical implementations of Apple's privacy policies.

No, Facebook. Facebook is telling companies to use the PSL. The PSL people are saying, “we give no guarantees about how long it will take us to add a domain to the PSL”. They could drag their feet so long as to make the PSL useless. To make sure it works, I could see Facebook wanting to get some of their people into position so that they can immediately approve PRs on the PSL. I can’t think of any reason Apple would…
Apple is literally the one recommending the PSL I have no idea what you're talking about
Summary: Apple introduced PCM [1], and to keep people from using it for cross-site tracking it limits the bits available to a single site (as defined by the PSL). If shop-a.retail.example and shop-b.retail.example are completely separate, and don't want to compete for bits, Apple will still treat them as a single site unless retail.example is on the PSL. Being on the PSL is a big change (partitioned cookies, etc) but…

That thread between FB & Apple is fascinating. The potential solutions being discussed have significant implications: 1. Apple: "not support eTLDs in PCM and only support TLDs" - so no more ad attribution for multi-tenant domains. 2. Facebook: "some sort of vetting process to determine who is using subdomains in a way that is aligned with the intended purpose of the PSL" - so Apple takes over the PSL inclusion proces…
> That would cause tremendous harm to all the small businesses who operate on subdomains of TLDs like myshopify, and for what? This was the giveaway that it was an FB person. Parts of that comment is verbatim from FB propaganda ads[0]. Maybe that awkward video from ~last month[1] was targeted more at aligning FB employees internally around the message, not the general public. [0] https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl…
I mean, they also say "Facebook finds itself in the position of trying to help advertisers navigate Apple’s ATT changes - answering a wide variety of questions. We ..." I think everyone involved knows this is an issue from FB?

If you're at the point you're spending money on ads and need to track them, you can spend $10 on a domain name? Lots of these platforms also give away free domain names.
