Apple reiterates commitment to users’ privacy in face of Facebook assault

Why is Facebook free? Because Facebook users are Facebook’s product. Facebook sells access to users’ data to advertisers and others (Cambridge Analytica, for just one of umpteen notorious examples). Apple wants to give users the choice to clearly opt-out of such ad tracking and that has upset Facebook’s doll-eyed founder Mark Zuckerberg who was smart enough to steal the idea for Facebook, but not smart enough to run it profitably without trampling Facebook users’ privacy.
