That it might doesn't absolve the fact that Facebook has been essentially kicked about by the Big 2 that dominate the smartphone market. Remember that Apple and Google aren't exactly covered in glory as far as privacy is concerned. They want consumer data for themselves, and that's "private enough" in their eyes.

There's a reason Facebook (and Amazon) has a devices division and is betting on AR/VR.

I don't want to be an Apple apologist, but I don't think you can lop them into the same dysfunctional privacy strategy that google operates under.

Apple is using user behaviors for advertising within Apple's ecosystem, but that's not something I really mind. Once my data/behavior exists the company I've entrusted it too, I get very uncomfortable.
