And from what I see on Instagram (not yet verified), Instagram will be putting a notice for all new users to either give permission for Instagram to “track activity received from ALL applications AND websites used/visited on your phone” to improve ADVERTISEMENTS (!!!!!!)
Otherwise, assuming the image posted is true, Instagram will be forced to switch from being a free application for all users to a subscription-based application and charge its users the 30% Apple Tax (also assuming Android & other Big Tech companies don’t follow suit after Apple).
In other words: “Give us your data so we can receive $$$ from advertising companies to pay the 30% Apple Tax (and fill our wallets with the excess) and we’ll keep the application free for all”.
OR
“Don’t give us the data and we’ll charge YOU the 30% Apple Tax to use our services”
I can’t help but think this will set a chilling precedence for new and existing applications making it all the more harder going forward, especially for those who depend on the income they make on Patreon.
Which is why this will be perfect timing to introduce #nostr as a safe haven for those who want to continue their social media antics, educate the masses about our beautiful #purple ecosystem in what it has to offer (and not have to sacrifice attention for freedom), grow their income in #zaps, and help #grownostr into a more sustainable, #weird platform for all 🫶🏼
