Title: Apple's app tracking prevention feature is maybe something I would buy an Iphone
Post by: ssfc72 on November 06, 2021, 08:05:51 PM
it emerged that Appleââ,¬â,,¢s App Tracking Transparency (ATT) featuresââ,¬â€which cut down the ability to track you on your iPhone by asking for explicit permissionââ,¬â€will cost social media firms $10 billion in lost revenue during the second half of this year.

Interesting. If they weren't so expensive, I'd probably get one because of their better privacy protection. But one thing I saw in the article - Apple has an advertising company? When did this happen? And are they using or going to use tracking? Also, I wonder how many ads (if any) that Brave blocks as well as tracking.
