It’s not innovation if it’s just catching up to what another platform has been able to do all along.


In a walled garden, the ability to for the user to do what they want, where they want is perceived as innovation.


The user can’t do what they want where they want on the web. The web is an adware and privacy destroying machine.

Anyone who claims those are equivalent to what is going on on the web is being dishonest.

Neither of the articles even claims that Apple was “selling user data”, so that’s a straight up lie.
