Do they need to be fined for wanting better privacy for their users, which is the case here?
That is not at all the case here. They are creating hoops to maintain their de facto monopoly. Don't try to sell it as apple are being the good guys here.
Hoops for companies who want your private information without telling you?
Oh the pain, won’t someone think of the poor corporations 🥺
In the sense that never letting your child go outside is “protecting them from harm.”
Apple has long told users what is and isn’t safe. Those safeguards should be available, but the choice to use them and to what degree of intensity should be at the user’s discretion - not Apple’s.
