The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Only people like us know this. The general public look at when you click don't track you are not being tracked. APPLE SAYS SO. Well, they SAY so but do not follow through. This was an APPLE feature, not app features. Apple themselves came out and claimed we will not let you be tracked on iOS using other apps. It's not the app dev who said it. It was apple. Therefore it is apple, once again claiming things they do which are not true. AGAIN!

    BTW, Apple WANTS to track you just as much as facebook, etc. They just hide it because all sorts of tomfoolery and marketing.

    This doesnt alter your click-bait fantasy framing. None of the articles cited here used that framing, because they would be sued for defamation due to it not being a reflection for the facts.

    It shouldnt be an issue to criticize the app developers violating that rule and also Apple for its slow to nil response on those actions. As criticizing both points of focus are completely justified.
