@anildash Will you defend Cupertino when the iOS devs who live on ads revolt (the only reason iAds exists)?

@counternotions I don't think I'll ever do volunteer work for one of the richest companies in the history of the world, no.

@anildash Who said anything about volunteering?

@counternotions well, "defending" them sounds like a lot of work. I guess maybe if they paid me a ton of money.

@anildash All I'm hearing is prevarication, regarding your convictions on this matter. :) Apple's business model speaks for itself.

@counternotions because his rhetoric conflates actual misbehavior and implied future threats.

@anildash So, as one example, when Google breaks Safari security to abuse user privacy and pays largest FTC fine ever, it's fantasy?

@anildash Is there any way you can get this asked on the next earnings call or @Recode onstage interview? I’d love to hear his response.

@_ @Recode from your lips to @karaswisher's ears!

@neilcybart @anildash @_ @Recode @karaswisher nor does any other ad service get info from those places

@benthompson @neilcybart @_ @Recode @karaswisher of course Google gets ad data from gmail.

@anildash @neilcybart @_ @Recode @karaswisher sure. But Cook makes it *seem* like companies access health data etc. (although obv not true)

@benthompson @neilcybart @_ @Recode @karaswisher my impression was that he's asserting that they will. Which I think is likely.

@anildash but that would mean telling app developers they can't earn from ads, or pushing them (further) into arms of google, fb etc for ads

@adityabhaskar maybe!

@anildash @adityabhaskar either you are suggesting that cook shouldn't be hypocrite or that ad based Rev models are bad. Which one?
