Everyone wins.<\/p><p>I also learned that Apple&rsquo;s App Tracking Transparency might be a bit more of a blunt instrument than I had previously thought. As you saw in the screenshot above, I still use a fair number of apps that have asked to track me, and perhaps they aren&rsquo;t as evil as I had believed. But I&rsquo;m still not going to give them permission. And don&rsquo;t get me started about the likes of Facebook and Instagram, which I won&rsquo;t let anywhere near my iPhone.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2023\/04\/06\/web-fingerprinting-is-worse-than-i-thought\/\">Web Fingerprinting Is Worse Than I Thought<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/20\/plenty-of-tracking-despite-app-tracking-transparency\/\">Plenty of Tracking Despite App Tracking Transparency<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/04\/15\/more-users-opting-in-to-app-tracking\/\">More Users Opting in to App Tracking<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/03\/28\/eat-your-books\/\">Eat Your Books<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/02\/04\/facebook-blames-apple-usage-declines\/\">Facebook Blames Apple, Usage Declines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/02\/snapchats-app-tracking-transparency-workaround\/\">Snapchat&rsquo;s App Tracking Transparency Workaround<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Engst: Matt was referring to &ldquo;Use Live Text to Digitize Your Cookbooks&rdquo; (5 January 2023), and he wanted to tell me about his service ckbk, which provides the full text of roughly 700 cookbooks to subscribers.[&#8230;]I downloaded the ckbk app to my iPhone and was dismayed to discover that this compelling-sounding service from someone [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"apple_news_api_created_at":"2023-08-03T02:37:36Z","apple_news_api_id":"14ee67b1-095a-42dc-8a51-e88ce4d2d2d2","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2023-08-03T03:20:34Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AFO5nsQlaQtyKUeiM5NLS0g","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[354,2065,2441,31,2185,26,355],"class_list":["post-40233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology","tag-advertising","tag-app-tracking-transparency","tag-ckbk","tag-ios","tag-ios-16","tag-iosapp","tag-privacy"],"apple_news_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40233","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40233"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40239,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40233\/revisions\/40239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
