What's the technology that enforces something like "apps are not allowed to degrade the user for denying permissions, except for features that actually use that permission". Or however Apple wrote the exact rule that prevents apps like FB from saying "give us access to all your contacts or we won't work at all".
As one example.
- smoldesu 4y agoNothing. Just like the technology that enforces something like "apps cannot record from the camera and train it on AI off-device" or the technology enforcing well-written and clear EULAs. When an app on my phone asks for contacts access to work, I don't use it. The system works as-intended. Edit: > So Apple users can use FB on their phones According to your logic, this is a net-negative. Is Apple trying to help or hurt their users here?

And FB and Mark Zuckerberg listen to that threat. So Apple users can use FB on their phones, deny access to location tracking and their contacts and feel safe that FB won't ever say "add them back or we'll stop working".
