“issues like Sign in With Apple, App Tracking Transparency, and location tracking restrictions”
Sign In With Apple? lots of major players are providing their own “sign in with X” single sign-on service. Users have a choice. Almost funny how many “sign in with X” buttons are appearing on many authentication screens/pages.
App Tracking Transparency? yeah, letting users know who is gathering their data is a good thing.
Location tracking restrictions? actively keeping users’ locations private is hardly an antitrust or other DOJ issue.
Location tracking restrictions? actively keeping users’ locations private is hardly an antitrust or other DOJ issue.
Those are good things and I use them. Those are not good things for DoJ when they subpoena application logs from cooperating software companies.
I wouldn't put it past DoJ to shake down Apple for a backdoor into IOS.
