If it's a whitelist or a blacklist is really just an implementation detail.
The key here is that the developer can choose to opt-in/out when uploading to the mac store (defaulting to opt-in), however older apps will be opt-out by default (as the developer didn't have this choice when they uploaded).
- IncRnd 5y agoWhat applies to this conversation, however, is the correct use of terms and to not use the opposite, incorrect term.
- Closi 5y agoWell if you want to get technical on terms, it’s probably not implemented as either a whitelist or a blacklist and is probably just a database field which was defaulted to false during the migration. And because it’s likely implemented like that, you can either generate a whitelist or blacklist if you want, but in reality it’s highly unlikely it’s implemented as either of these things. But regardless it seems like this whole thread is just about semantics anyway.
