I dare say Facebook is now the better long-term investment than Apple. Apple’s trumpeting of privacy issues against Facebook reeks of hypocrisy.
My takeaway is that Apple just wants a share of the ad money that Facebook is mining from iPhone/iPad owners.
Alphabet paid billions of dollars so that its Google data-gathering search engine remains the default search engine on Apple’s mobile Safari browser.
Apple is just envious of Apple and Alphabet’s successes in mobile advertising.
Apple is the god dictator of the massive iOS platform and yet it failed to build a successful mobile advertising business.

Privacy issues still haunts Facebook. After Apple asked Facebook to remove its Onavo Protect iOS app last year, Facebook came up with another data-gathering app.
Facebook is reportedly paying people to use its new Research mobile app so it can gather personal data and mobile phone usage habits.
On the other hand, it shows Facebook is still bullish on data gathering to augment its already dominant position in digital advertising.
I opine that people understand that nothing is free in this world. Companies like Facebook and Google data mining in exchange for free apps/services.
I also like Zuckerberg’s plan to integrate/merge Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
