#4> However, if Mark Zuckerberg goes back on the drawing board to figure what went wrong, he’ll probably realize that data breaches and privacy awareness aren’t the causes of an impending downfall.
> Instead, a lack of effort in developing their own operating system a decade ago might be Facebook’s biggest regret. And this has come back to bite them today.
Crazy that it came to this.

#5If they got Google to turn it off by default, it would be right, but how many users are going to do that or even know about this. The average citizen will continue to fund Facebook until they default it to off.

#6> To put it straight, Google’s advertising ID (GAID) can no longer be accessed by advertisers if the user disables it from their settings.
> Now that Google is pulling the plug by making GAID almost obsolete, Facebook is about to stare at a bigger loss. If their loss from iOS 14 was in the range of $80bn, Android the more dominant platform will only increase their losses and woes.
Almost obsolete? This means users have to OPT-OUT of tracking as opposed to OPTING-IN to tracking on iOS.
The two "solutions" could not be more different. I hate all of these new articles saying that "Google joins Apple" in restricting FB. Apple is restricting FB 95%, Google is restricting it maybe 5% at best.

They are doing it to kill off competition, not because they care about privacy.

#9Does this mean that ad-tracking data control will move from individual app developers to system owners (Google for Android/Chrome on the desktop and Apple for iOS)?
Facebook must be ruing spending time on Oculus instead of developing their own mobile hardware ecosystem.

#10Just two days ago I bought my very first iPhone. Apple was selling privacy as a feature, so I was buying. I wish I'd seen this first, I might have stuck with Android/Samsung, which I prefer over iOS/iPhone..
