Yes, but why do we need to depend on Apple to regulate this market? Regulation performed by a company sounds like to worst of two worlds.

We “need” it because governments in certain jurisdictions won’t do it.

But wherever you may fall on the government regulation spectrum, there’s a simple response if you don’t like Apples action. Don’t use iOS. Go to Android where FB and friends are free to track and sell your data only constrained by your government policies.

If the government would step up, it would be great.

Until then, Apple "regulating" it is the least of bad option.
