Is this for GDPR? Why have they lumped Apple in there? They’re hurting their own cause with that GAFAM acronym they insist on using and by failing to differentiate Apple’s business model.

You seem to be an Apple fan
@aral and while in some aspects of GDPR they are better than other GAFAM but non compliance is exactly that. Their duopoly with Android needs to be dealt with and treating all GAFAM similarly if in breach is certainly appropriate? -
Yep, Geoff, I’m an Apple fan. You got me figured out, man. (Secretly, I own lots of their stock & the reason I do what I do is because I want Apple to take over the world.) Pls, continue lumping them in w corps w a completely different business model. Doesn’t look clueless at all

Apple uses the same advertisingID in iOS as google in Android They pretend to respect privacy but this is worse than a cookie As you said, Apple doesn't need to do that because its model isn't based on data Apple has no reason to do this. They look to need a class action to stop
