The billion was a metaphor as it's only the _first_ step in preventing not
only ad personalizations but each and every ad in each and every app on
iOS.

After personalization, you have to turn off location based ads on iOS.
(Or are you iKooks claiming that location-based ads aren't personalized?)

Once you do that... come back to me and we'll work on the next in the list.

Facts only, please!

Supported facts.

Location-based apps are clearly NOT personalized.

Which makes no difference. iOS is still an ad-littered hellscape.

it's not any step.

maybe if you actually understood how things work, you'd realize how
nonsensical what you are spewing actually is.

I agree with you that iOS can't do what Android does, nospam.
It's a billion steps in iOS and you _still_ can't do what Android does.

It's clear you are who knows _nothing_ since you have to explicitly turn
off location based ads in iOS and you are completely unaware of that fact.

Even if you were aware of that fact, I'd bring up the next step because,
with iOS, you can't get the kind of privacy and ad blocking Android has.

*If you're seeing ads, then you're on iOS.* (Not Android.)

no, it's essentially the same.

the actual apps might be from different developers, something which
greatly confuses you.

Don't call me a liar because *_you_ don't know how iOS works*, nospam.

HINT: You have no clue you can't get tor project privacy out of webkit.
HINT: You have no clue these two apps aren't even close to similar.
HINT: You have no clue iOS doesn't have a system-wide on-device firewall.
etc.
The assessment remains factually valid and well substantiated, nospam:
*If you're seeing ads on a smartphone, then you're on iOS* (Not Android.)

No. It's _you_ who is ignorant, nospam.
Not me.

Otherwise you wouldn't need to lie so much about iOS functionality.

How many times, for example, have you lied about iOS GPS spoofers, nospam?
How many times have you lied about system-wide iOS firewalls, nospam?
How many times did you lie on blocking wi-fi & cellular on a per app basis?
etc.

What all you deceitful iKooks do, all day, every day... is lie.
*You have no other defense to the truth than your lies.*

Except it isn't, which is observable by every single person who uses
one. Your little lies are weak.

In which case it ought to be easy for you to point to one million
individuals within the claim 'every single person'. We'll wait.

You are a deceitful person who lies every time you can't respond to facts.
Which is almost all the time, unfortunately.

If you wish to refute this summary, then refute that using facts, nospam.
*If you're seeing ads* on a smartphone, then *you're on iOS*

Refute that, nospam, but use _facts_ to refute that (which you can't).
Instead of resorting to lies which only prove my point of what you are.

that's not why they're calling you a liar.

they're calling you a liar because you lie a lot.

And yet, you've never found a single fact from me to ever be wrong.
You can't.

I'm not like you nospam.

I'm nothing like you, in fact.
You have no shame. No pride. No honor. No morals. No respect for yourself.

You have no respect for any human being, nospam.

You would feel no remorse stabbing your own mother in the back nospam.
That's the kind of deceitful despicable piece of shit you truly are.

Crap! Android by default tracks you like bloodhound.
