Comment on Watchdog ponders why Apple doesn't apply its strict app tracking rules to itselfparent

When I buy an iPhone and use iOS, I’m making an active choice to be an Apple user.
When I install a third-party app and use it, I’m making an active choice to be their user too.

Are you properly notified of exactly what they record, and where they record it? In a form an average user can easily understand and control? Can you opt out of changes in something you are locked into?

No, but that's not what this system is about. It's literally just "are you going to tell anyone else about what I'm doing?"
