It's not that Apple requires developers to ask users if they consent to sharing data with 3rd parties. It's that Apple forbids developers from doing anything differently when users decline.

The only explanation for its ad campaign against Apple is that Facebook has decided shamelessness works, after years of cozying up to the Trump administration

For most of the past week and a half, this image has been stuck in my head: John Gruber / Daring Fireball : Facebook Wades Into Epic's Dispute With Apple Filipe Espósito / 9to5Mac ...

Apple is just straight-up demanding that developers who monetize through the only meaningful channel that doesn't net them a 15-30% cut *must* offer users a free ride. And it really is a free ride in most cases.

No, “Share your data to enable meaningful ads, or pay $15 to use this app,” no “Enable personalized advertising to unlock premium features,” not even, “You'll see more, less valuable, ads if you decline.” That would be user choice.

I shouldn't be surprised anymore but it is amazing that none of the press coverage I've read of Apple's iOS 14 changes re: advertising have managed to mention *at all* the single most salient fact of the situation. https://www.nytimes.com/...

The company declared in newspaper ads that it was “standing up to Apple.”  It's a desperate ploy that's unlikely to work.
