Facebook apologizes to users for Apple’s monstrous efforts to protect privacy

I'm not a big Apple fan. But if Apple thinks it makes business sense for them to be privacy-focused, that it would get more people to buy their products, i'm all for it!

And I know it doesn't block what could be an ads business for Apple but if we need to hand off our data to Big Tech, I'd rather have Apple get my data than Facebook.

Why would we need to hand off our data to Big Tech, though?

There are only 2 major mobile platforms so we don't have any choice if both decides to make money off our data.

You can nitpick on "need". Such typical HN response to focus on 1 word just to pick on something rather than the understand the whole message.

Please let's not get confrontational, I didn't mean it as a nitpick. I just think that there is a point at which we have to ask ourselves whether we truly need any of this. If all the options sucks, perhaps the only move is to drop all the options.
