Samsung embeds IronSource spyware app on phones across WANA

In my experience, Samsung is a label that means "stay far, far away." From the Galaxy Note fiasco to my microwave to my dishwasher to ... Probably at least three other products before I learned my lesson.

I even refuse to buy QD-OLED monitors out of indignation that Samsung makes the panels. Maybe I'm alone but maybe one day we'll boycott lousy companies out of business.

Samsung phones have been filled with preinstalled spyware since the beginning. Outside of fairly unusable Linux phones, Apple seems to be the only one taking privacy seriously.

apple privacy is marketing but ok

If it's mostly marketing, why was Facebook so up in arms about forced opt-in for tracking in iOS?

Because Apple blocks everybody else from spying on you but Apple themselves are still perfectly spying on you. And not just that, by disallowing all other apps to get their hands on your data you even tell Apple which data it can sell for a higher price because it's only available via Apple and noons else...

Let that sink in.

Let what sink in? Your completely unprovable/unproven conspiracy theory?

You are suggesting that Apple is actively tracking you in other apps (apps that aren’t allowed to track you themselves). I find that completely preposterous and a huge risk for Apple to take given their marketing.

> Because Apple blocks everybody else from spying on you but Apple themselves are still perfectly spying on you.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Specifically Apple spying on users and collecting info tied to their identities in 3rd party apps.
