my best ad experience is when the information comes at my request, not because this unwholesome-seeming fellow’s company tries to find niches in my self control to sell me stuff that I don’t want

There certainly appears to be something thoroughly unwholesome there, in my opinion.
Facebook is pure cancer, nothing but misleading news, echo chambers and a place where you only see the fake side of friends and family. I cut bait months ago and should have done it wayyy sooner. I feel tons better.
That‘s a great Strawman argument 🤔 Apple wouldn’t even be around if it didn’t sell hardware.
Facebook is truly evil. So glad i quit it years ago.
Pain.... !!
This is like the war of the worlds.. on a small scale Who will win, who will loose ? Stay tuned.....
Users need to know about tracking being on he forefront, while companies prefer to just bury then deep in Terms and conditions, (so deep no one will read)

Facebook is filled with morons.
Really, what they should be doing is finding a way to do a revenue split with Apple, like google does. Then figure out a way to do what they do given Apple's desire for individual privacy.
Instead they go on some kind of all-our war, which they will lose.
Google tracks users just as much as Facebook, but you don't hear them whining like babies. They're splitting revenue and figuring out how to do what they do.

It's so disappointing to see how much Mark Zuckerberg has changed for the worse. 10 years ago when Facebook just started, I thought Mark Zuckerberg was a truly great kid who wanted to make a real difference in the world by building a social networking platform for people to connect with each other. Simple as that, with no evil hidden intentions.
But now all we see is Mark Zuckerberg being blinded by money and profits, who tries to scam users and juice out every cent they can get. The ideology at Facebook has completely changed, it doesn't care about making the world a better place, rather it is just fully focused on profits, profits, and profits and of course selling user data.
I would never have thought Mark Zuckerberg who turn into such a money-minded person when he gains newfound power, wealth and recognition

Facebook prostituted itself to Vladimir Pütin taking Neo-soviet money in RÜBLES to run lies to steal an election in 2016, and this is not opinion or "politics", it is fact Zück himself admitted to, to Congress. Cook is the high ground on this all the way and will win ANY battle with Herr Zück. As it should be. FB rather than face the reality of having to fact check is now working on "de-politicizing" FB completely so it can become another failed Myspace, only full of old people, cats, "funny" videos, food, and medical complaints.
Apple will be around long after Facebook is dust.

They're both businesses, but at least Apple treats its customers (usually) as customers (that they want to come back to them), and not (like Facebook) as a free content provider (to interest other users) and product to be marketed (user information for targeted advertising) while Facebook provides inadequate privacy assurance, biased censorship, and no renumeration other than the use of the site. In effect, Facebook uses their users two ways: to help attract and retain other users, and to provide the information (or at any rate the audience) for targeted advertising; plus the third way, of pushing their own slanted interpretations of what is or isn't appropriate, factual, etc. (not that they aren't free to do that, but that it's particularly obnoxious together with the other ways they exploit their users)
And to add insult to injury, Google at least understands ONE thing that Facebook doesn't really: advertising should be lightweight, relevant is ok given the targeting, but not demanding on the browser nor overly distracting to the user.

But the question is. Do you have a FB or Instagram account? Mine closed 2016. If someone wants to see what I’m eating for dinner they can come hang out.
The answer is you have no idea what Apple or anyone else will do. Do you think everyone *knows* what you're going to do in any given situation? You're voicing a personal speculation, completely devoid of fact, and stating it as a foregone conclusion.
Posted this in the wrong story tab. Oh well... better late than never.
I hope Tim Apple is sincere, but given Apple's resolute commitment to not providing real product options to folks that want to minimize the environmental impact of buying limited life products, and their absolute resistance to Right to Repair I have my doubts. Not a Zuck/FBook fan at all, but I really have a hard time thinking Tim is so interested in what is best for consumers & the environment. Is Apple knee-capping FBook in our interests, or does Apple see FBook's huge ad revenues as a area for Apple future revenue growth. Flame me all you want, but before you do, maybe take the time to read these really insightful links:
