Apple and Meta’s Cold War over Privacy is Coming to an End

Reader, do you live with your parents? I don't. I am Diamond Naga Siu and may have made the wrong decisions in my life.

Insider spoke to a 25-year old about her extravagant lifestyle, which she credits to not having to rent. She enjoys weekend trips, luxury goods, and drives a decent car. She is part of a growing trend in young people who live in multigenerational homes.

A study revealed that almost half of Americans aged 18-29 (aka Zillennials), live with their parents.

Let's get into the tech of today before I panic about another large rent payment.

1. The Meta/Apple privacy war is at an important point. Both companies have been at odds for years. The CEOs of the company have a history making snide remarks at one another. Meta, which relies on Apple's platform to allow people to use Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, has been the alpha to Apple's beta.

• Meta was cut off by Apple's privacy changes for 2021. This has hampered Meta’s data-driven advertising model. It shows in the bottom line.
• Mark Zuckerberg's move into the metaverse was intended to free him from Apple's grasps. His companies could access the user data that Apple's data-driven advertising model relied upon by creating their own platform.
• My teammate Paayal Zveri was told by experts that Meta must completely reinvent its advertising model in order to escape Apple.

Get a glimpse into their feuding future.
