        "In fact, it appears ATT may have been more about blocking competitors than protecting user privacy." --> FALSE, it's just that the most invasive forms of tracking are now prohibited if no consent 🙌 4/

          You cannot turn off Apple analytics @mysk_co/1594515363093712896 --> TRUE, a SHAME for Apple (and a ePrivacy violation), but note that the purpose is analytics, not personalized advertising 🧐 5/

            Apple is using this analytics data where you have no opt-out to sell personalized advertising --> FALSE and DISHONEST, analytics and personalized advertising are 2 different purposes, with different rules 🧐 6/

              "ATT targeted a very specific niche of data collection" --> FALSE, otherwise there wouldn't be dozens of adtech companies (including Google & Facebook) tracking your every move in the different Apps🧐 @ProtonPrivacy, a new friend for adtech companies?! 7/

                "ATT doesn’t prevent companies from monitoring your activity within an app and collecting that data, like Apple does with the App Store and its News and Stocks apps. " --> TRUE, Apple shouldn't track you across its Apps, and block others from doing so 8/

                  "Still, this limited tracker blocking has had an effect." --> TRUE, and @ProtonPrivacy should be happy here, the surveillance advertising bubble is very slightly decreasing because of ATT Read @EFF for a better take eff.org/deeplinks/2021/04/apples-apptrackingtransparency-upending-mobile-phone-tracking 9/

                    "Now that third-party trackers have been eliminated, Apple is the only company that has access to users’ behavior in the App Store." --> FALSE, 3rd-party trackers have never been there. You should rather be able to install the App you want, no gatekeeper like Apple 💪 10/

                      I'm often frustrated and disappointed by Apple privacy claims vs reality, but it's not a reason to spit out the adtech narrative @ProtonPrivacy If we look at surveillance capitalism: - Apple ≠ Google - Apple ≠ Facebook 11/
