After CSAM, I switched the main office machines to Manjaro. A lot of my colleagues sold their beloved iPhones and moved to De-Googled Android.

Luckily, the fiasco with Little Snitch was resolved, and I can enjoy a mac for occasional design work, but Figma is running well in the Browser and if I see any attempt to push me into Ad Hell, it is totally over.

Vertical integration is important for Apple, but as an old Apple user, this will be "no-fly zone" for me.

Actually, CSAM had a positive in my life. Since then, I am using my smartphone less and with basic apps, some banking, calls and chatting.

What does CSAM have to do with this story on how Apple might grow their ad business?

Nothing. This story is an opportunity to Apple bash, so they’re doing it.

Personally I’m deep in the Apple ecosystem. I don’t think I’d leave because of this ads idea, but I share would get pissed off a lot because of it.

Exactly. The Apple bashers never fail to come out of the woodpile.

This article reads like the other completely unsubstantiated Apple rumors.

Bloomberg has a long history of quoting "sources briefed on the matter" type articles and this doesn't feel any different.
