Facebook goes to war with Apple over ad privacy

This is bullshit from Facebook's side. Claiming that they're speaking up for small businesses is a great way to try and change the conversation about targeted advertising.

They are not immune from being tracked just because they use the data to target their adverts.

Apple's anti-tracking feature cannot come soon enough.
