Has Android restricted spying as much as iOS has? I seem to recall Facebook freaking out pretty hard about iOS policy changes around tracking and blaming that for some serious revenue shortfalls, a while back, and have no such recollection about Android, but maybe I just missed it.




The only thing that Android doesn't do is zero out the advertizing ID unless the user gives explicit permission.

That's an OS thing on iOS though, not a user one.
