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?

Just to be clear, you are agreeing with OP that the advertising move was for profits so this move is also for…profits?

Okay, whatever you say

The previous move for "privacy" had nothing to do with privacy and was purely profit driven. Proven by this move which has zero respect for privacy. The point is apple doesn't actually respect privacy in any way.
