„iOS 14.5 launches next week, takes on Facebook and Google tracking – Apple’s software update, available for free next week for iPhones and iPads, promises major privacy changes. … The most controversial change comes when people open up apps from companies like Facebook. There, they’ll be asked whether they consent to having their activity tracked across apps and websites they use. Facebook will begin including a message in its app to explain what it uses this tracking for, but it has also started a campaign pushing back against Apple’s approach. … Though Apple’s new iOS 14.5 privacy settings will push these issues front and center when they offer people an easy way to turn off more-invasive tracking, they won’t put an end to the practice, though Google promises it’s easing up a bit.“

That falls short of Netflix’s January guidance to add 6 million new members. Analysts on average had expected about 6.3 million member additions, according to Thomson Reuters.“
