    I read that Apple was implementing ads in their maps software now. Quick search seems to confirm it. Below is a page blurb originating from Apple’s domain.

    Now businesses can run ads on Apple Maps — right where customers are deciding where to go.

    My initial comment was just satire, but reading through the document I’m just… tired. This sort of analysis originates from America’s intelligence organizations. It’s not surprising that the technique’s bled into private-business–it always happens. Intel. orgs. create a software solution that solves one of their problems and entrepreneurs within those organizations realize private-businesses have similar problems.

    (I will state–because it’s tangentially related–the matrix-protocol originates from individuals linked to mossad. I encourage users not to use matrix.)

    Apples not odd. It’s the same as every other technology corporation.

      Are you referring to the historic link to Amdocs?

      Ads don’t violate privacy.

          Only personalised ads do. If someone pays to be shown ahead of competitors no matter who’s doing the search, there’s no personalization.

            I would argue that it’s bad in a different way. But also, I think non-targeted ads in the internet are very rare

          Also can carry a dangerous payload.
