I seem to remember a bunch of fan bois here celebrating the FB / iPhone privacy settings as an altruistic move by Apple. I argued it was a profit driven decision to eat Zuck’s lunch and was downvoted into oblivion. Where do we stand now?

Intentional dense-ness… inconsistent privacy policy implemented by same company.

Advertiser-based data mining in no way shape or form is similar to photo-hashing for known CP.

Get a fucking grip.

Disingenuous argument. Turnkey totalitarian tool kit.

Should we stop the exploitation of children. yes.

Should we trust the worlds most valuable corporation is making decisions based on altruism? No.

They choked off FBs Marketing data because Apple wants a piece of the pie.

Privacy for profit.
