Zuckerberg Now Claims Apple's App Tracking Transparency Rules Could Benefit Facebook

[Charlesrfinal]

He sees what’s going on him around him and pivots. Good move.

Not a Facebook user, probably will never be, is what it is. Maybe those that use it will get a benefit of the new privacy stuff.

It's kinda funny how the Chinese gov't ... err ... development groups are finding ways around the app tracking, and now Zuckerberg is cool with it. Uh huh ... and half of your users aren't bots, they're just colder-than-usual contributors.

Zuckerberg has no moral regarding Facebook users. First, he said Apple privacy was bad for users. Now that he's found a way to make more profits off Apple, it's all good again. His claim that he was protecting FB users against Apple was all BS. The FB monopoly has to end.

"facebook tracks everything you do online, and here is why it's a good thing!"

For those of you who are having difficulty understanding Mark's logic, here's an easy-to-follow diagram:

What?

It took me a while, but I understand what he is saying.

He is saying... Other platforms for acquiring customers won't be able to adapt as easily as Facebook. Therefore, it'll make Facebook's advertising better relative to the competition.

That guy is so full of ****, I don't get how he and his **** apps are still a thing

 

[dannyyankou]

Wait but I thought this was all about how the changes affect the little guys and not the effect it would have on Facebook itself?

Come on, Zuckerburg knows 14.5 is coming weather Facebook likes it or not now.

He has to tell the shareholders what they want to hear.

Yep. Facebook need Apple more than Apple need Facebook.

Or

Facebook NEEEED Apple.

Firefox's new cookies implementation is also supposed to somehow benefit data mining. My guess is now their info is exclusive, and focused?

syas Zuck right after Apple told him if they did like Apple's policies Facebook would be pulled from App store

 

[larrylaffer]

Nice double bluff attempt

 

[Hushpuppy!]

They’ve likely found a way to circumvent the new protocols. They’re no longer worried.

Translation: We've found new ways to make more money off people's data, so we're no longer as mad.

More like: "If we cooperate and implement all of Apple's privacy changes, more people will be comfortable using our platform. Advertisers will pay more."

 

[Thehangmn]

Of course, that’s why he’s been acting like a big baby about it.

Yes! The 5 Stages of Zuckerberger Grief:

1. Shock

2. Denial

3. Anger

4. Retribution

5. Reverse-Psychology


Mark Zuck is now at the 5th stage..... and he's using reverse-psychology on his clientele to pretend that Apple's move will benefit FB's malignant motives, rather than hinder it.

 

[SDJim]

The lizard king has spoken!

I mean what else is he going to say now that he ”lost”? He went through the five stages of grief in the last few weeks.

Well he lost and now has to save face in front of the shareholders.

 

[morphineseason]

Mark has spent most of his adult life circumventing the rules in favor of social manipulation. Why stop now? I do respect the work they're doing with VR though. I hope at some point they can become a profitable business through some more forward-thinking approach that doesn't involve this kind of sketchy stuff. It's holding them back, honestly.

 

[PinkyMacGodess]

Reverse psychology?

Sounds like he knows he's loosing this fight.

And, just to make sure people realize where they are going, FB has their own wrist mounted tracking device they want the sheep to wear. That takes balls...

One has to wonder "What s Facebook's angle ?"

What a company it a state of disapir that it would hinder a social networking site to go from "This is boodly aweful" to "Well, i guess we can do it"

Seems more not well thought out.

(I thought Zuck was more like Rock-band 'Kiss" (long tongue and all)

 

[wbeasley]

And FB caved and paying for "news" content in Australia...

Seems Zuck protests then caves.
Anything to keep the dollars flowing...

 

[fishmongerer]

Zuck is starting to remind me of Putin. They just seem...whatever.

Is Zuckerberg trying the briar patch defense?
