The deflector-in-chief. The only reason Suckerberg wants extra scrutiny on Apple is to take the heat off of him. Genocide in Asia, disinformation in elections, social media-related suicides. Dude is weigh in over his head.
It seems crazy that Apple has to hold off on. We features to protect users’ privacy, when the major company it will hurt is the one who has turned political discourse in the world into a childish game of shouting stupid crap across a room. No other company has damaged civil discourse the way Facebook has.
Facebook-owned Instagram showed a number of adverts for a "4K 10-300X40mm Super Telephoto Zoom Monocular Telescope (Released In July 2020)". It looked pretty cool, but rather than buying it I checked out the product and the company.
The product is available on Amazon for about £10-15.
This company were charging $59.99 (~£46).
The company has reviews showing it is a scam. There are 100+ reviews stating the company either doesn't send the product or sends an inferior product then offers you 30%, 40%, maybe 45% back as a refund. In the UK this is both false advertising and a criminal offence. I believe it's called a "bait and switch" in the US?
Facebook should be checking out these companies before they allow them to advertise on their platforms. So, you know what? I don't care that Facebook will lose money from Apple's new software. They aren't standing up for "small companies"; they're standing up for their own self-interests and finances.
It is Apple who is keeping people safe from such sh!tty companies, not Facebook.
Instagram is the only facebook product I use and I'm not gonna lie, I love it. But you should see the creepy, spammy ads that show up in my feed. I would pay to block all ads and tracking.
I missed this (same old) story in real time, so late commenting here, but I’ve been thinking that Apple-Google-Microsoft really should step forward and “Sherlock” Facebook.
Build an ad-free, cross-platform API that will destroy Facebook. This fear has got to be what is driving MZ’s behavior — he knows he is vulnerable.
When someone blatantly lies what they’re really saying is they think they’re smarter than you. He’s not smarter than me; refused to use the product after finding out the truth about its origin; certainly won’t know that he is trying to justify misuse of personal data.
He’s a sad little man. History will not be kind to him.

Zuckerberg says Facebook ad tracking will cure Covid-19.
