"I want big daddy capitalism to raw dog my data"

This past Monday, Apple released an update to its iOS that, by default, stops Facebook (and others) from tracking you across apps. As a technology journalist, I 100% recommend that you keep this default setting — it’s a great step for privacy. But for me? No thanks. I’m going to keep giving Facebook my data because I’m an absolutely craven, disgusting, wormy little cuck.

This move by Apple is monumental, and there’s been a bitter fight brewing for months between Apple and Facebook over this, with Facebook even taking out ads just to slam Apple for trying to “change the internet as we know it for the worse.” And while I realize all this, the way I feel about giving over my data to Facebook, even when faced with the chance to stop, is like that classic headline about Trump from the Onion during the 2016 election cycle: “Admit It: You People Want To See How Far This Goes, Don’t You?”

I want to see how far this all goes. I want to follow the rabbit hole and see just how fucked up and awful everything gets when I hand over as much of my personal information as possible to Facebook. I want to be the idiot in the horror movie who goes down into the dark basement. “Hello? Is anyone down there?”

In Settings > Privacy > Tracking, you can toggle ON the option to all app tracking.
The new iOS feature stops your apps from sharing data about you with one another. Let’s say you’re browsing sneakers on Zappos, then you see an ad for those exact shoes when you open Instagram. That’s because Zappos and Instagram are sharing data with each other. But now, your phone has blocked those apps from talking to each other.
