Apple is becoming an ad company despite privacy claims

Ads are taking over the world because they're actually just a propaganda vehicle and control is the only thing worth money

Regulation is too toothless to do anything about it so I think we'll naturally see all corporations evolve this way

Sad and true. Attention and value extraction from every aspect of human life is the only goal in corporatism. It’s never enough for these companies, endless growth is all that matters.

> control is the only thing worth money

Indeed. Look at anything you or anyone spends money on. It all comes down to controlling your environment. The environment that corporations inhabit is structured in such a way as to demand user attention and data exploitation in order to survive.

And why would government fix it if ads are propaganda tool? Shouldn’t it start using it to advance its interest and fix bigger issues?
