This is what happens when you rely on American tech companies. Apple is pulling shit with Europe, the home of “civilisation”, that feels like it’s straight out of a stupid reality show over regulations regarding sideloading and privacy. And clowns like this will regurgigate the dumbest and the most worn-out libertarian shit in first tier media outlets.

Tbh I don’t get the point behind GDPR. Is it genuinely meant to ensure privacy to some extent or is it just some form of protectionism against American tech companies?

    Pretty much everyone with a smartphone I believe. They say that in 2019 there were 1 billion compatible smartphone.

    The navigation system used by the phone is transparent to the user, so of course we dont notice it, but it’s up there and we’re using it.

      I see. Thank you for pointing this out, i was under the impression that Europe still mostly relied on GPS. Shows my age i guess.
