> Facebook ultimately shut down Onavo in 2019 after Apple booted the VPN from its app store.
Unfortunately, the EU attacking Apple’s ability is do things like this in the future will harm consumers.
A world of anybody being able to have their own App Store is one where a massive company like Facebook bullies their users into using their App Store, and trading their privacy for access to the largest social network on the planet.
- dartos 3y agoWhat a strange take. You’d rather have a large company strictly force all users into their App Store instead of having any choice because you believe that another large company will “bully” users unless they use a different store? Has something like this happened on android? Still seems like choice is better here.
- seanhunter 3y ago> Has something like this happened on android? Yes. This happened both on on iOS and android. From TFA: Thus, Project Ghostbusters was born. It’s Meta’s in-house wiretapping tool to spy on data analytics from Snapchat starting in 2016, later used on YouTube and Amazon. This involved creating “kits” that can be installed on iOS and Android devices, to intercept traffic for certain apps, according to the filings.
