Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off.
Google and Facebook do the same thing, doesn’t make them any more privacy friendly.
Google and Facebook don’t enforce these kinds of setting onto their internal apps
When you tell iOS to not share info with applications it actually doesn’t share that info with applications. Facebook sued Apple over this.
Look, I don’t worship Apple but it’s just wrong to say they aren’t wayyy more protective of privacy than almost everyone else

Apple may block third party from accessing your info, but they won’t block themselves from doing the exact same thing Google does.
Apple collects information sure but it’s nowhere near as much as Google does and this is verifiable.
None of these companies are good but Apple is by far the least bad when it comes to respecting your privacy
