How would this be enforced?
Is the Play Store going to remove those apps from the devices that are located in Germany?
- Tomte 7y agoThe court hits Facebook with ever-increasing fines, if it doesn't comply. But we're not there, yet, this order is preliminary. And Facebook has said they would rather comply than pull the apps altogether.
- Beldin 7y agoUnder this ruling, Facebook may no longer offer its apps in their current form in the German version of the Google Play store. As the article remarks, the case doesn't involve core functionality of any of the apps, and FB claims to have compliant versions of their apps ready in case RIM seeks to have the provisional ruling enforced. (They can, but only if they pay 1.6 mil caution in case they lose in FB's appeal). So, FB would only have to push an update for each app. Not doing so would clearly fall afoul of this ruling.
- ce4 7y agoBlackberry would have to deposit a security of 1-1.6M € for each of the nine cases and then Facebook will have to comply and make said apps unavailable in the app stores.
