Apple is creating a false sense of privacy with their privacy-focused marketing. I appreciate their efforts building secure products but without a way to block or filter 3rd party app network data they leave their users vulnerable.

Also many ad-blockers that could filter app traffic were nuked from the App Store. I wish there was a way to firewall network traffic in the same way it is possible on other systems.

Shouldn't Apple simply block the Facebook app from the App Store then? And similarly for all apps that pass data to Facebook?
well that would be a lot of them.

For example, the kindle app contacts graph.facebook.com.

I really really wish apple would allow a true firewall
