Apple Releases Powerful Ad on Consumer Privacy

[digitalrelic]

Some apps have trackers embedded in them that are taking more data than they need, sharing it with third parties like advertisers and data brokers.

They collect thousands of pieces of data about you to create a digital profile that they sell to others.

These third parties use your profile to target you with ads, and they can also use it to predict and influence your behaviors and decisions.

This has been happening without your knowledge or your permission.

Your information is for sale.

You have become the product.

I don't know that I've ever seen an ad from a massive company like this so forthright about what's being done with our data. Fuck Google and fuck Mark Zuckerberg. These practices need to end, now.

Apple's New App Tracking Transparency video/commercial

Apple today released a new video talking about App Tracking Transparency that talks about the subject. I'm a big fan of this stuff and I found the video (that's just under two minutes) very succinct and to the point. Highlights that it should be a choice. All in all, great move by Apple.

Including by Apple to the Chinese government.

The sheer hypocrisy of this campaign is astonishing.
