another end of the world blah blah blah article. The truth is both are still doing extremely good and FB for sure will not end here. On top of this im extremely disappointed that Apple has the power to take these measures and regulate other companies within their Walled garden. What is US and World identities doing ? Why does it need to be another company with a Monopoly to regulate other ?

Remember when Facebook came up with their own walled garden, and no one wanted it?

in this instance, what measure did Apple exactly take?

give users the option of opting out?

If that option was there in the very first place a significant portion of the marketing spend wouldn't have happened throughout the years.

Now that the market is well established cutting Facebook off is a good strategy for Apple as this will probably move a significant chunk of marketing budget their way.

Now Facebook's fate is collateral damage.

the option was there for quite a while now. it’s not new. now the developers of apps need to tell you the shady stuff they are doing.
