Isn’t it true you can do that level of security today? Just manual process, right? The new 14 is opt in vs opt out essentially?

Sounds good to me.

I for one am considering LineageOS or the like for my phone. I trust neither Apple nor Google.

This is real differentiation. I’m in, Mr. Cook.

The article reads like an ad. I wonder how much Apple paid for it.

These parts here ...

One major privacy feature in iOS 14 is the need for apps to actively ask for permission before tracking you across services. Apple will allow you to choose between “Allow Tracking” or “Ask App Not To Track.”

This has caused quite a stir, with Facebook saying it will no longer be able to collect iPhone identifiers for advertisers (IDFA) from users, hugely impacting the business model of itself and its advertisers.

Just disallow cross-site/cross-service tracking from the get do would be fine. Just don’t even have anything like IDFA to begin with would be fine. First Apple Inc. built stuff that compromised your privacy, now they bill letting you undo some of that damage as new features.
