“How Apple screwed Facebook - Apple’s iOS 14.5 update has triggered an unstoppable collapse in Facebook’s ability to collect user data”

@Gargron We love to see it, don't we folks?
@Gargron All-in-all a great read.
Facebook's argument is so fucking weak
"Think of the small businesses"
Somehow Small Businesses survived just fine before facebook existed and they will just fine after Facebook closes it's doors too.
Like, seriously get real
ATT is a good move but I wish Apple would just do the real right thing and ban facebook from the app store.
@Gargron And if Facebook can't survive without harvesting and selling user data than perhaps we don't need facebook lol
@Gargron Thanks to this I am one step away from being able to remove the Facebook SDK entirely from my day job app, and it makes me so happy.
@Gargron good for apple, so far as that goes. Hopefully we continue to see laws enacted making this stuff mandatory so that we don’t have to rely on one company’s desire for good pr.
@Gargron
Yes indeed.
@Gargron this is amazing!!
@Gargron “Screwed” implies that Apple did something wrong, but if I had a nickel for every crap headline I’d have retired to a beach house in Malibu.
@Gargron What *terrible* framing for this article, though.
@Gargron first time I am jealous of Apple users ever. This inspires me to try the #lineageos + #fdroid life again.
@critical @Gargron Got a Samsung in new job. Don't want to trip the knox (Samsung security policy stuff). Trying to get internal IT to offer fairphone, but they get phones from a mobile ISP "as a service", and Telia Norway does not have fairphone in their lineup.
I'm tempted to buy a lineage os official supported phone. I don't think I'm allowed to sell the phone that i got from work. So then i end up just making more e-waste by buying another phone..
@Gargron they've finally done something good after 45 years of existence on this planet we call Earth
When you consider user consent an existential threat to your business model, you have a shitty business model.
@Gargron "screwed" ? No, they have fixed and firbidden this continuous tracking of everything by f***book.
Who am I rooting for here?
