> And give me a fucking break with bringing the pandemic into this. It’s especially infuriating coming from Facebook, of all companies. Maybe if they weren’t the main vector for the disinformation and anti-science nonsense that has prolonged the pandemic by turning it into a needless culture war, their “concern” would ring more true.
If companies are responsible for the content posted on their platforms, wouldn't that make iPhone the main vector? Especially since they take the most active filtering stance for any app onto their device.
- jeromegv 6y agoNope Companies like Facebook not only show you content, they use algos to show you more of certain content. They provide an editorial choice over what content you should see. Sure Apple could ban Facebook, but I know you’re just making a stupid argument for sport, not that you actually believe that makes sense and that they should.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoGruber believes Apple should regulate iOS content, which they do all day every day. Apple has banned Gab because of user content. The question is why they make an exception for Facebook but not for Gab.
- beaner 6y agoI don't see what's different about it. Apple quality control is also just a type of algorithm. They have an algorithm that filters apps with algorithms. It is an editorial choice as well. Stopping after Facebook but before Apple is arbitrary.
