Sounds like a “Please Track Me” Button...

Probably.

Do you think the big tech companies are not interested in tracking you? Apple lies.

I could not explain how they do it, but I agree with that engineer. I always check do not follow, yet I always receive several unwanted and unsolicited ads related to my searches.

Some will say ‘use Ad-Be-Gone type apps, but that means some of my other websites won’t communicate very well. I would need to turn the Ad-Be-Gone app ON for certain sites, then OFF again, for other sites. That’s too tedious for me.
I have a low level of pop up protection anyway.

I’m hesitant to accept this as this could be an engineer that left Apple on bad terms and feels the need to spite his former employer.

It could be someone wanting to promote android at Apples expense.

There’s too much ambiguity to take this at face value. I don’t buy it.

a couple of years ago Tucker Carlson sent staffers out with Android phones that had the Wifi turned off, went to places that were supposedly secure, etc. Basically all set up so they couldn’t be tracked. Then when they got back they hooked the phones up to a packet sniffer, returned them to normal and every place they had been to was sent back to Google servers.

If you want privacy get a dog.

Cell phones are for tracking—on, off, whatever....no matter what they claim....

Back before phones became cordless, I could leave home without my phone for several weeks at a time. Now it feels like I’m detached and naked if my phone isn’t with me every minute.

If you have an iphone or any other such phone you are being tracked, analyzed and, of course, lied to that you’re not being tracked or analyzed. It’s just a fact of modern technology ... it comes with the product.
