User consultation is more critical, but Facebook doesn't really have "users", per se - they have products.

Seems like Apple is really backing up their rhetoric with real action. Awesome news for anyone that values privacy. Kudos to Apple.

#13> We believe that industry consultation is critical for changes to platform policies, as these updates have a far-reaching impact on the developer ecosystem. Why should platform makers consult the advertising industry? It's not like the advertising industry consulted anybody before they started collecting every bit of data they could.
Because many of the people developing apps for their platform rely on advertising revenue to pay the bills?
If the app makers were merely showing an ad , even an intrusive one without selling out my information -- I will be able to tolerate that.
However when app developers include libraries from foursquare or facebook, what they are doing is violating the users' privacy and selling their information to third party aggregators who will apply data analytics to build a full predictive model of your behavior and then they will sell it to anybody who wants to spy on you. Do you remember Cambridge Analytica ?

Oh, they have plenty of users; they're just not the people whose labour they're harvesting.

We’re encouraged by conversations and efforts already taking place in the industry - including within the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the recently announced Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media (PRAM). We look forward to continuing to engage with…
> Partnership for Responsible Addressable Media
My guess is that this partnership is very similar to a hypothetical Foxes’ Partnership for Responsible Henhouse Interactions

This is what gets me to move away from Android. I like the Andoird ecosystem more, but my hate for advertising supercedes all of that.

#17Gosh, there goes Apple with their anti-competitive monopolistic behaviour again. Facebook better join Epic in the queue at the courtroom.

It won't prevent them to show ads. It will prevent them to show targeted ads. So your point is either invalid or rather "they won't be able to be datamining their potentials users to pay the bills" ?

#20Apple pushed an OSX update (10.15.6) just to demand acceptance to their data-sharing practices from all their user.
The forced-to-accept "welcome" screen (which shows up before the main desktop and disregard every single accessibility option the user might have (even the mouse scrolling direction!) starts with:
> "Apple's ad platform is designed to protect your information ..."
A few interesting things. First, I doubt any Advertising platform was or will ever be designed "to protect you information". They are designed to generate revenue by ensuring people see Adverts.
Second, I think it is the first time the words "Apple's [Advertising] Platform" was ever shown to Apple's end users.
Lastly, what's up with using "ad" on a somewhat legal document you are forcing me to accept? It is not a word.
