I agree here.

Apple's privacy changes might seem like a good idea from the outside, but essentially or paradoxically leads to higher entry barriers for new competitors and cement the role the actual players have.

However, we do not have experience with so-called "big tech." It is relatively new, iPhone came to light in 2007. So I regard Apple's measurements as another experiment, and we will see how things further evolve.

Honestly, who cares if the barrier of entry for a shitty business model is raised. And can see only upside to this.


I won’t complain if it makes it harder for fly-by-night ad brokers to set up shop, quite the contrary. I don’t care if the playing field is not level, and we don’t owe them a business. You’re right, things are moving quite fast, but we are also more and more vulnerable. I won’t hesitate between the human right to privacy and a company’s right to make money.
