      You would be surprised how often people cheap out on their hardware, not knowing how those companies are selling the data about you to make up the rest of the price.

        It’s up to regulators and not Apple to be the nanny because Apple uses it to stifle competition. The only free market is a regulated one.

            Is Pebble a data hoarder? It doesn’t share anything but is restricted from full functionality. You’re using Apple rhetoric where they’ll conflate Meta with everyone else.

              Pebble should have access to my text messages and watching my notifications from other apps? No thanks. It can just mind its own business and be a watch.

                We don’t think like that in the EU, we like free markets more than anyone else 👍👍👍

                  You do think like that, or we wouldn’t have cookie acceptance popups on every website that participates in data collection.

                  This is just a grab at apple user data, and Apple actually standing up for its users.

                    There is no law that requires cookie consent banners, it’s malicious compliance similar to this childish fit from Apple. It just shows that those companies are not interested in providing the best service they can, which is why we have to regulate them up to their tits.
