No more tracking.

iOS 14.5: Mark Zuckerberg’s nightmare has arrived, thanks to Tim Cook

This is nice. Screw you Zuckerberg. Now hopefully some of our tech denying  paranoid members can finally join the 21st century without feeling they're being spied on. I usually have no problems with this type of stuff, but the way  facebook lately have tracked everything you do or say did become uncomfortable. Well done, Apple.

Today is the day that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been dreading for more than a year, possibly even extending back to a private encounter he had with Apple CEO Tim Cook back in July 2019 at the annual Allen & Company investment bank conference that’s regularly attended by America’s corporate elite.

The arrival on Monday of Apple’s latest mobile operating software update, iOS 14.5, stands to dramatically reshape the business model that underpins pretty much the entirety of Facebook (its pervasive tracking that makes lucrative, hyper-personalized advertising possible).

Thanks to The New York Times, we got a fascinating anecdote tucked into a piece on Monday that reveals Zuckerberg had a kind of quasi-bury the hatchet meeting with Cook in the private Allen & Co. encounter, where Zuckerberg asked the Apple CEO how he would deal with Facebook’s worsening Cambridge Analytica scandal if he were in Mark’s shoes. Cook’s response stunned him — the Facebook CEO was told he should immediately delete any information about people that he’d collected outside of Facebook’s core apps. Zuckerberg should have known then and there that Facebook would eventually arrive at the point where it now finds itself this week, with the newest version of iOS now letting users tell companies like Facebook that, sorry, we don’t want to be tracked around the Internet anymore.
