What data? Because if I look at the data points for Apple Advertising, than it is nowhere near the amount Meta or Google are collecting.

In addition, Apple is very transparent about what they collect, see https://privacy.apple.com to know what they have on file linked to your Apple ID.

But if you have a source that this is not the whole picture, I’m very interested to learn.

Is that statement even remotely true?

A debate about this in the Netherlands ended with a strong advice from the government to ban smartphones and watches in classrooms.

It does have a positive impact, yet I keep thinking about why we teach the way we do. Is the problem not that the ‘classroom’ is outdated and not serving the educational needs of today?

Interesting article, I for sure didn’t noticed it.

I think that the tech behind this is quite interesting and useful, that is not the issue. The issue is, in my opinion, that the party that attests you are trusted is a firm like Apple, Google, or Microsoft. With all the antitrust implications of that.

Now we as a society need to make a decision, do we want to use this tech to make certain parts of the web more safe? And do we want to place that responsibility in the hands of firms, or should we want a government to pick up that responsibility?

Food for thought this is.
