        “Apple also gives users an additional privacy choice related to Apple’s own limited data collection practices across a limited number of first party apps – a choice that third parties do not give users.” Wondering who those third parties are? 🤔 3/

              “If the first party does not share information with third parties or track consumers across third-party websites, the practice would be consistent with the context of the consumer’s interaction with the company.” Yes, tracking is substantially worse than first-party ads 👀 6/

                  “The evidence does not suggest that the implementation of ATT has materially boosted the performance of Apple’s own advertising services.” So much for this adtech conspiracy theory 🙄 8/

                      “Apple’s stated intention with ATT is largely consistent with preserving individuals’ privacy and place individuals in control of their personal data.” Shouldn’t we put users first, before data-harvesting companies interest? 🤔 10/
