Look at that app privacy report. I didn’t expect anything less from Meta. Let’s hope they aren’t using all our Mastodon accounts for advertising too.
On Twitter I've been shown everything from industrial mining supplies, nipple covers, psychology research papers, super yachts, home shopping network junk and just now an ad for an oral dosing technology conference.
Anecdotally I’ve never purposefully clicked an ad on Twitter, I think either the buyers or the algorithms are off there.
I appreciate that Apple has their privacy practices highlighted in a easy to read card so that developers don’t get to hide it in legalease and a click away in a privacy policy.
The next step would be to actually prompt users about this, in the same way that you would get a prompt confirming that if you would like to download a large app when on mobile data. “It looks like you are trying to install the app Threads which reads the following information about you. Are you sure you would like to proceed?”
This would be a natural progressing of the “Ask not to track” dialog that they implemented awhile ago
