Why is it that Apple is coming for anyone specific rather than just trying to protect user privacy in general regardless to who it is affecting? Of course, other than not being click-baity enough.
> Apple’s fight for privacy is really a fight against the web. In signing up for a newsletter, a publisher or marketer already has a more valuable piece of PII: your email address. By focusing on IP addresses, and blocking trackers rather than proxying them on a fuzzy delay (which would provide the same useful publisher data without any PII leak of location or time), Apple are not really fighting for their users so much as they are fighting against email.
No. Embedding invisible elements that report back information I never intended you to have is "fighting against email". Terrestrial mail does not allow you to track where, when, or by whom it's opened. I think that's the expectation of most people for email as well. The fact that marketers have gotten away with something different thus far is a vulnerability in the standard as far as I'm concerned and should be fixed.
