  This wasn’t true: https://twitter.com/twolivesleft/status/1288625617873694721?s=21 https://twitter.com/twolivesleft/status/1288625617873694721?... Recanted there. People need to think more critically.

    Ugh. This factoid is now stuck in a bunch of memories though, and they're swear it's true the next time it gets debated.

      To go deeper into the rabbit hole, lots of people dislike Apple, so this tweet could have been a calculated effort to further tarnish Apple's reputation. Plan: 1. Create fake news that X people see. 2. Wait until X is large. 3. Delete fake news, use "plea ignorance" apology to save face, that Y (Y << X) people see. Congrats you now have a large number of people who now have an even worse opinion on the subject of the news. Repeat steps to cause even more damage.

        Yeah, but it's Apple. That's a drop in the ocean.

        Or be like the Hey app. Pretend to be the victim, whip up a whole lot of free PR sympathy and then make the minor change to the app and resubmit whilst no one is paying attention.
