When we don't pay we are the product. Conversely, when we do pay we are still the f***ing product.

iPhone apps including Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and X/Twitter are skirting Apple’s privacy rules to collect user data through notifications

Seems it's the free shit doing what they do best and the thing you paid for needs to plug some loopholes. I can't imagine Apple's coordinating if there's no profit for them...like when native Facebook and Twitter accounts appeared in the iOS settings, hmmmmmmm.
