"The web as we know it is evolving. Apple is pushing a privacy-first approach from its operating systems and Safari" Is that the Apple that uploads the MAC addresses of every device on your LAN and your GPS location without telling anyone?

A quick reading of Apples own advertising policy gives me deja vu...

“Segments We create segments, which are groups of people who share similar characteristics, and use these groups for delivering targeted ads. Information about you may be used to determine which segments you’re assigned to, and thus, which ads you receive. To protect your privacy, targeted ads are delivered only if more than 5,000 people meet the targeting criteria.”

I don't know, is this the same Apple that uploads the hash of every program you execute?

My question, how is Google FloC different to Apple's Differential Privacy?

Why is everyone championing Apple while shooting down Google if they are doing the same thing.

Unless I am mistaken, I am reading a lot of double standards from people on the issue.
