What is worse, there are huge numbers who view an ad and click on it because they think someone is trying to be helpful and inform them about something they might be interested in.
Make sense. But then on the other hand, it feels like these organizations are not really serious about what they're concerned about. Instead of berating Apple, they should probably be supportive of Apple, especially when the likes of Facebook are making statements against Apple. I'm not seeing these organizations making statements against Facebook/Google. I mean it's as if these organizations are just in for the laughs, but then leave Apple fending for itself, fighting their fight.

Here is an idea, what if I hire someone to follow Mark Zuckerberg everywhere he goes and have them document everything he does so I can sell that information to small businesses that want to snail mail relevant advertisements to him. The person following him around can take notes of what he orders for dinner, who he talks to, what magazines he reads, which elections he attempts to buy, who he pays to mow his yard, etc. You know, stuff that small businesses would need to know before sending him a post card offering $2 off on a car wash.
But if they steal and sell your information, they can make 2 tons of money. When you are Mark Zuckerberg, SCREW the user, $10,000,000,000 is simply not enough. Plus, it is not just about the money, it is about the power. The ability to follow people all over the Internet can give you great insights into what they are thinking and doing so Facebook can censor them if they say something Facebook disagrees with on another website.
No - not everyone clicks on Accept. I never do.
The only annoying thing about the cookie pop up rule is that the anti privacy respecting sites make you jump through hoops. Youtube is a nightmare. They should stipulate that it can’t interfere with normal browsing. The rule in general is an excellent idea allowing much more transparency when browsing.
