If there's an accurate third-party source, we can change to that. Corporate press releases don't make the best HN submissions (this is a kind of exception to HN's original source rule).

The link shared by kllrnohj is much more informative: https://developer.android.com/design-for-safety/ads -- please consider making this link the OP and deleting my comment, which applies only to the corporate press release.

They do if they come from Apple though and it's quite funny especially with this news.

Not sure what you mean, but we don't care which corporate a press release comes from.

Those participating seem to though or how would you explain the overly overblown popularity of posts from apple compared to this one for example?

It's possible that Apple does a better job of making press releases appealing, but I think the more likely explanation is that this perception is just an illusion. Everyone thinks that the stuff they dislike gets more attention and more favorable treatment. This is the driving dynamic behind perceptions of ideological bias, too. I wrote a bunch about this yesterday:

and there is a large quantity of past explanations here:

After so many years people love apple products much more than they love google products.
