... using the acronym "AI" seems to be the go to click-bait method nowadays. Anyone want to guess how long before the use of the acronym "AI" becomes passe? At the current rate of usage, I'd give it two years, tops.
... they could just put the treatment of contract employees into the contracts that are signed with their contractors, and enforce those contracts. Apple's lawyers wrote the Terms of Service and Privacy contracts that customers automatically agree to. Have you ever read those contracts? I'm sure those same Apple lawyers could write up contractor contracts that specify, to similar detail as the Terms of Service, just how the employees of those contractors should be treated. imo, the fact that we see less than Apple-like working conditions at these "black sites" means that Apple is aware of the conditions and allows the conditions. Think about it, would a contractor want to go up against Apple's legal department?
I didn't miss that point at all. Using contractors is a way Apple keeps costs low while being able to point to all the happy workers in its doughnut. It's like outsourcing to China, but in the US.

The proper solution to the problem is for the ad companies to abide by it, either voluntarily or by law. By removing it, Apple is telling the ad companies that Apple no longer cares about its users' privacy, and is inviting the ad companies to abuse Apple Safari users even more.
I was going to post about the "it certainly looks like blackmail" aspect of this. If Apple doesn't want to offer bug bounties, that is their choice. That choice does not give anyone a bye to act in an unethical manner.
Would also be nice if Firefox would check/verify TLSA/DANE is a domain/site uses it. There was a plug-in (DNSSEC/TLSA Validator) that performed this task, but the developers gave up on Firefox back when the API changed.

"not as spiffy" seems to be an attempt to downplay the working conditions. As such, your message has confirmed how bad they are.

Using Safari on an Apple OS can be used to track you even more. So what's Apple's point? To stop using Apple products?

I didn't say there was. The unethical mention in my comment was relating to the blackmail aspect.
I agree. For the past seven years or so, I've been downloading LibreOffice.

That's my hope as well. Mozilla talks up security, but does not implement one available security aspect (TLSA/DANE).
