I love how they try to make their motives sound so altruistic by saying, "...and protect customers from devastating, monopolistic fees imposed by big tech companies." Would someone please think of the children!!!

As I mentioned in my previous post, I've been using iTunes since 2003, and while that started out on a Windows PC, I migrated to a Mac in 2005. I've been using the Mac version since then, and while I personally have never found it too problematic, I…

They should be careful what they wish for. Do they really want to invite that kind of comparison? "Our teams have submitted our privacy labels to Apple but Apple's template does not shed light on the lengths apps may go to protect sensitive inform…
