I bet carriers would be against that, how else are you going to spy on your customers. Not that i would trust Apple when they say they can’t spy themselves
You can always tell when Apple is on the consumer’s side… the leeches and parasites start complaining about a new privacy feature Apple is introducing.
They know this gets in the way of them selling user’s data. They basically aggregate analytics like the top visited websites and top user actions etc and sell them to ad agencies. Private Relay will kill that data selling exchange. Then also there’s the intelligence agencies which love to feed these into their NoSQL databases to spy on users.
Lol
I’m not the least bit surprised. There are two problems (for the carrier) that I can see:
1. In some judiciaries, they’re legally obliged to save meta data for a certain time. Not strictly a problem for them, but could be used against them, and it would s a problem if they are asked to work around it.
2. It’s harder for the carrier to identify and shape the data (i.e. harder to make money by either taking pay to break net neutrality, or sell server space near the connection point).
3. Bonus: they can’t offer things like free (with regard to data cap) Spotify
Same problems they have with VPNs and HTTPS (assuming SDNS and probably no SNI), except the latter is limited to the web
