Is Apple Upsetting the Ad World?
In June of 2020, Apple announced new updates to their privacy and tracking rules. These updates would require Facebook to explicitly ask for permission to track users when they leave Facebook and across other apps and websites. This process is similar to how most websites ask permission to use cookie tracking when users enter a website. Under these circumstances, users will have to opt-in for tracking as opposed to opting out. Facebook has expressed concern that most iPhone users will opt out of tracking and make targeted advertising more difficult and reporting less accurate.
