This is a good article but the problem isn't the apps, it's the conflict of interest. Operating systems and browsers are "user agents", they are supposed to act in the user's interest. But Apple and Google both monetise users, which puts them in a bad position.

With iOS, Apple needs to monetise users through the App Store. In turn, this means iOS will enable tracking.
Google is even worse: it makes money from both ads and its store, and therefore both Android and Chrome are designed to prevent user privacy.

These things all need to be broken up. You simply can't cater to your users and sell them downriver at the same time. That's evident consumer harm.

Another value of cracking down on tracking is that when it remains possible it is increasingly through means that can be clearly described as illegal since user choice is typically removed.

Private mode is one of the primary means that people use to circumvent partial paywalls. Pervasive tracking is how Google maintains its market dominance over advertising, which Google uses to impose unfair terms of publishers.

The Chrome team is in a position to fix either or both. I am merely observing that judging from which one they decided to fix makes it difficult, even with kindness and the friendliest intentions, not to question their values.

The problem is that these aren’t footguns: they’re the most rational response to the data economy as it is structured today.
Historically, building a quality audience was the biggest asset a media could develop. That’s how they made money.

And to build a quality audience, you can’t cheat your readership — otherwise you lose them.
But if access to that audience is no longer exclusive, it becomes massively devalued. Google and Facebook will resell it and undercut you anyway.

There are two primary methods in which this is implemented: browsers and mobile OSs.
I’m not being a pain in the arse of Chrome folks because it’s fun. I have a long list of other people I’d much rather be a nuisance to. But this is a problem.
Of course that could also be solved by those companies acting as service providers instead of data overlords, but when I pitched those folks that idea the response what pretty much:
