- RL_Quine 6y agoNot asking somebody to do something is “opening a can of worms”?
- croutonwagon 6y agoIts further clarified in the article > Company spokespeople confirmed to the website TJournal that they did reach out to Telegram, but they say Apple is only asking the network’s administrators to remove specific posts that violate the AppStore’s terms of service by disclosing individual’s private data without their consent. So apple bow expects developers to police user generated content within an app to ensure it abides by appstore policies. How would someone that develops a HN app (like octal) or even other messaging apps, like Signal. Further, does apple do this with their own apps, like iMessage? Something smells fishy here.
