@Gargron All-in-all a great read.

Facebook's argument is so fucking weak
"Think of the small businesses"
Somehow Small Businesses survived just fine before facebook existed and they will just fine after Facebook closes it's doors too.
Like, seriously get real

ATT is a good move but I wish Apple would just do the real right thing and ban facebook from the app store.

@Gargron Thanks to this I am one step away from being able to remove the Facebook SDK entirely from my day job app, and it makes me so happy.

Generally I'm not a huge Apple fan, underated hardware overpriced with built-in heavy censorship, but when one of my favorite hated corporations goes after another it kind of turns into the Enemy of your enemy is your friend kind of deal.

@Gargron good for apple, so far as that goes. Hopefully we continue to see laws enacted making this stuff mandatory so that we don’t have to rely on one company’s desire for good pr.

@Gargron all Facebook has to do is monetize and abolish extinguish advertiser motivated tracking. How much per year would I have to pay to use the service to lose the bad shit?

@Gargron “Screwed” implies that Apple did something wrong, but if I had a nickel for every crap headline I’d have retired to a beach house in Malibu.

@Gargron What *terrible* framing for this article, though.

@Gargron first time I am jealous of Apple users ever. This inspires me to try the #lineageos + #fdroid life again.

@Gargron they've finally done something good after 45 years of existence on this planet we call Earth

When you consider user consent an existential threat to your business model, you have a shitty business model.

@Gargron great to see those kinds of opt out rates. Facebook is finally getting the rug pulled from under it. Now all the practices they swept under that rug will be exposed again.

@Gargron "screwed" ? No, they have fixed and firbidden this continuous tracking of everything by f***book.
