iOS 14's Upcoming Anti-Tracking Prompt Sparks Antitrust Complaint in France

Is there a consensus best tracking blocking app? I’m currently using Lockdown and Adblock Plus.

Doesn’t make it tracking either. You are taking a definition of a word that is a common definition and applying some spin on the definition. Tracking is usually associated with nefarious activities and not helpful activities.

The dictionary definition of “tracking” doesn’t mention a thing about nefariousness. I’m not spinning a thing.

You are putting some negative spin on something that is needed for a positive user experience for most customers, imo. (As an aside, one can see all of the information you have given Apple...which is not tracking)

"Advertising companies and publishers have filed a complaint against Apple with France's competition authority, arguing that the enhanced privacy measures would be anticompetitive"

Because our data can't be mined for profit unless we consent it is anticompetitive? Give me a break, Zuckerberg & friends.

Seriously, one of the best things about Apple is how much they value privacy. I thank them for doing this.

@schoolbus18 since you disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts

Happy Apple protects us from tracking... except government tracking and tracing which of course is only for our best. Because governments only want our best, always.

I'd be laughing if Apple sidesteps that one on purpose.. There is no exclusion, while everyone's being deferd with Facebook issue, Apple slips this in.

Which government is tracking you on your iPhone?
