The network believes that these numbers are higher in the “real world”. The impact of the changes made by Apple will be felt not only by advertisers, but also by Facebook itself.

However, advertising giants such as Facebook and Google, which have already collected vast amounts of data, may eventually benefit from this change if they run direct advertising and businesses through their own platform – using such No opt-in should be obtained for Your own customer data.
