> Apple is prioritizing user-privacy which necessarily means it is more difficult for advertisers to place their niche ads.

…while rolling out their own alternative, complete with user tracking.

But if apple's tracking is not sold to third parties, is secure, and people trust apple from a security standpoint, is it actually bad for individual privacy?

1. Lots of ifs…

2. Facebook (the comparison here)/Google/etc don’t sell to third parties either.

3. Is tracking customers the issue, or is facebook tracking the issue. Most people seem to indicate they don’t support tracking writ large
