Google Launching Privacy Sandbox to Limit Ad Tracking on Android, Calls 'Blunt Approaches' Like Apple's 'Ineffective'

No, I mean, developers that are NOT collecting data didn’t have a pop up to show “Hey, let me collect your data” right? What popup would there be for a developer that’s not collecting data? “Hey, user, just a pop up to let you know I’m not collecting your data!”?

Developers that are collecting data, yeah, they definitely had a problem, but that’s expected as they were collecting data.


I’d rather developers not collect data.

Thing is only thing it blocks is advertising ID. This means fingerprinting is still possible and they never block the stuff developers truly care about. That info is crash logs and user metrics. I personally care about crash logs and logs and blocking that would screw app development. Big time when you deal with issues that affect less than 1% of user. You need to know is it an issue how often does that happen. How does that things happen. What api calls are being made, are they failing. That the stuff I care about and it is not blocked.

The only people who care about advertising Id is marking not developers. Hell my employer the only reason they remotely care about it is to track an ad campaign on does it work to get people to download the app and I am pretty sure with out that ID they can still get that info on what and if an add got an download. Mind you they can not link it to other data but they don’t care about that. With it then it can be traced to more detailed info. Either way above my paid grade and not my department.

What was originally developed by Apple?

I went back to see how I got this so wrong...

When Jon Rubinstein left Apple and became Palm CEO, I had somehow assumed he had brought a failed OS from Apple with him and developed it into webOS, but turns out he actually built the webOS while at Palm.

Thanks for the correction!

I converted all my DVD Movies to digital and setup a server to stream, but now all my TVs are 4K, so I would just watch them from Netflix or Amazon Prime Video. DVD quality is now mediocre, although my TVs can upscale very nicely.

I agree that DVD quality is inferior. But there are some things still not available in even 1080p much less 4K. Some series from the 90’s and 2000’s held up in IP-rights hell that it seems will never be released in modern streaming formats.

Good thing for upscaling.

Looks like an anticompetitive tracking/customer spying to me, attention to the keywords!

Your statement might make a remote bit of sense if Apple was spying on Spotify data. But Spotify knows exactly how many streams are made, any provider will. Apple Music is no different
