"World-renowned arsonist announces new squirt guns for personal fire safety"
Really Facebook sees the writing on the wall that Apple and Google are about to cut off the firehose of data Facebook collects via mobile devices, and is scrambling to find a way around this by pretending to give a damn about your privacy.
- bogomipz 5y agoI was aware of Apple's recent moves to "cut off the firehose" for FB but I hand't heard of a similar move by Google. Is there an Android update coming will have the same effect? I feel like I may have missed this.

It's a win-win for Googs: they get to pretend to be good guys protecting mobile users privacy while at the same time putting pressure on a competitor so their product is more attractive.
