See also: all the companies scrambling to circumvent App Tracking Transparency, in which they are not only being duplicitous, they're also breaking the new agreements formed with the app store and the customer.

Tracking has been a grey area in technology. Now that regulations and users are trying to scrape back some control over their privacy, it's going to be a lot clearer to see the line between moral and amoral behavior in companies.

App Tracking Transparency only forces you to do what you must have already been doing to comply with the GDPR (and potentially even the earlier ePrivacy Directive).

Any complaints about ATT should've been considered admissions of guilt by the EU regulators and promoted investigations.
