@adamyh No, the feature is new. It replaces one that used to say “limit ad tracking”. And, as Apple explains in the “learn more” document, toggling this new switch will relieve you of the need to tell every app that wants to track you that you don’t want to be tracked. — PolitiTweet.org

@ArtronicsYT @Android @Google I can. They could still sell contextual ads in search without tracking you all over the Web. In fact, that’s what they used to do. It’s the difference between advertising, which is generally accepted, and ad tech, or targeted advertising, which depends on invading your privacy. — PolitiTweet.org
