Found the engineer :)
Let’s make our internal systems depend on the good will of an outside company that is marginaly a competitor.
The worse part is there has to be someone that KNEW they where in violation.
FB seems to have a culture of is okay to be scum if we get what we need since we can always just say sorry.
- plink 8y agoYes. Are they utterly oblivious to the eventuality that a policy of "break things now, apologize later" will receive the world's cold shoulder?
- blattimwind 8y ago> The worse part is there has to be someone that KNEW they where in violation. Given the timeline outlined in the TechCrunch article it seems practically certain to me that they intentionally used the Apple EDP infrastructure to circumvent Apple's ban on literally the same app.
- ASinclair 8y ago> Let’s make our internal systems depend on the good will of an outside company that is marginaly a competitor. What's the alternative for internal-only apps?
- myrandomcomment 8y agoThey could have started by understanding that another company has control over their infra and maybe not be evil. That being said, a web app (like the FT uses on IOS so they do not have to cut in apple on $) that is a saved web clipping would work without having to load an application.
- jboles 8y agoThey could develop their own phone. Apple, the maker of the hardware, is also a stakeholder in users’ privacy. They are not obligated to assist Facebook in the undermining of users’ privacy. If their stance on privacy does not meet Facebook’s requirements, Facebook is free to develop their own phone to run their own apps.
