I don't understand what's so objectionable here? there is ample disclosure, it's for adults, and those who opt in receive rewards, is this really about everyone

I don't understand what's so objectionable here? there is ample disclosure, it's for adults, and those who opt in receive rewards, is this really about everyone being concerned for apple's terms or is it just that it's "hip" to portray tech companies in the worst possible light?
- saagarjha 8y agoDistributing apps signed with an enterprise certificate to users is against the rules.
- srkmno 8y agoYeah what's the exact text that says that? Besides this isn't portrayed as an apple terms mismatch story it clearly reads as another pearl clutching privacy panic clickbait.
- saagarjha 8y ago> Join the Apple Developer Enterprise Program for 299 USD per year and get everything you need to start distributing proprietary in-house apps to your employees. From the page describing the program: https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/ https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/
- pertymcpert 8y agoYou really want a source? That's a completely obvious violation. Otherwise you'd see lots of apps by 3rd parties being used without going through App Store approval. Come on.
- cmsj 8y agoThis kind of program doesn't just suck up the data of the people who opted in with (theoretically) clear knowledge of what it means, it also likely pulls in data about the other people they communicate with using their phone, and none of those people consented to anything. Even if we were to pretend that isn't the case, why is it so necessary for companies to be able to suck up so much data about people? Why shouldn't we insist that companies respect our privacy in the same way we respect each others' privacy (I'm assuming that you don't go and peek into your neighbours' windows to figure out what they've been buying recently).
