Inside Facebook’s push to convince small businesses of Apple anti-tracking doom

Feelings toward Facebook’s anti-Apple messaging among small business owners might depend on how tethered they are to the Facebook machine.
April 01, 2021

Instead, Facebook has launched a great effort to communicate to small business owners just how much the changes will affect their ability to reach new and returning customers in their feeds. “I want to be able to be given a chance to grow. I don’t want my cost of acquisition to go up,” said Helen Annette Njau, Esq., co-founder of a bag company called House of Takur. Read more below about how Facebook motivated small business owners to speak out about Apple's changes.
