it’s amazing that for once, Apple had an enormous embarrassing privacy bug and FB could take some cover from press less than 24 hours later....back to the latest Facebook thing

Apple statement below Translation: FB screwed up and knows it, so we put them in developed jail. Fb kinda had to defend its research practices since they do tons of it daily. Apple workarounds were indefensible, and Facebook knows it. Hence, no on the record fb comment on thatpic.twitter.com/lnlILXC2g8

it’s nerdy but just FYI forcing Facebook to go through the App Store for all their app development by their enterprise certificate being revoked is no small matter grinding all development to a halt by waiting for weeks at a time to get things approved through the front door

Psst: thousands of Facebook employees use unreleased builds of FB apps on iPhones internally for all sorts of functions. correct me if wrong but i believe those are all essentially....bricked now? which would be a huge pain in the ass

they rely on this stuff for things as simple as taking the bus congrats Facebook Research for invoking the ire of all your colleagues stuck at the shuttle stop this morning

this tech cold war between two companies would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that the collectively control billions of users’ personal information

If this is actually about ToS and not flexing on FB, I wonder when Apple will revoke Google's cert because of Screenwise Meter https://support.google.com/audiencemeasurement/answer/7573812?hl=en&ref_topic=7574346 …pic.twitter.com/HnumyXZMey

I'm pretty sure Amazon is doing the same thing with their Flex app.pic.twitter.com/NXvyVZ7ZzJ

Not quite the same thing, but DoorDaah also uses enterprise cert to sideload and I thought dashers weren’t employees?https://dasherhelp.doordash.com/download-app/

They're only not-employees when it comes to wages and protections and stuff

Facebook’s Board of Directors is not doing its job - company is out of control and has been for a while.

Honest question, how long do you think Apple knew about this and kept it as a "in case of PR emergency break glass" move? I'd like to think they did this immediately upon detection, but...

I had the same thought

It'd be more fun if they blocked the FB app from users.

This is your friendly reminder that Facebook was paid $85 million by the Trump campaign, assistance that a Trump staffer said was instrumental to enabling Trump to win.pic.twitter.com/gWR6lgtExZ

Mike: Jives with my own reading of the EDP and the SDK agreement. I defy you to find a more ironclad user agreement. Anywhere. :-)

Translation: Apple's lawyers think they can beat Facebook's lawyers in court if it comes to that. :-(

They wouldn’t dare.

Uh huh ... And Oracle would never sue Google all the way up to the Supreme Court either ;-)

In this case Apple’s the one with the IP and Facebook would be the one claiming some right to use it.
