That's complete nonsense. They're providing content blocking in Safari. They're not blocking in-app ads, which is the area that iAd competes in, so they're not harming any iAd competitors.

It's a different domain. Content blocking only applies to Safari. iAd ads only appear in third party apps if the developer chooses to use them. They could also use a different ads provider. That's not affected by content blocking because it's not a web page inside Safari.

we don't know their plans for the future. as long as it is a webview, they own it.

The future doesn't apply today. Today, webviews don't implement content blocking. GGP appeared to assume webviews did implement that.

fair have never been a problem at apple.
