If there are two warring corporations, and one of them has a warfare strategy based on selling its customers tools to prevent the other corporation from tracking their content consumption, then sign me up for battle. I know which corporation I want to support.



Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos!


Good grief this was well done. Bravo to you!


False dichotomy


Why?


Apple sells ads, so they’re financially motivated to track you just like the other ad companies. They might promise to not track us, but unless they’re audited by a 3rd party, we can’t assume they’re telling the truth.


AFAIK, Apple only sells ads within their own products. Meanwhile, I trust a company with $2.8T to lose more than almost any other actor to abide by the letter of their agreements.

Woah, do not do this. Don't you remember the Butterfly keyboard denials, the 'holding the phone wrong', etc...?

The only reason you have trust is because they are the best company at marketing of all time. You were manipulated into trusting them. That is a huge red flag.

Capitalism isn't the only economic system with corporations.
