Pretty incredible scoop by BuzzFeed. This guy seems like a sociopath.

Those ads were priced that high for a reason, to keep garbage off the iPhone. iAd only really made sense as a way to enable developers to make money from their apps in a high quality way. All the stipulations don't make sense for a pur

Apple operated iAd before shutting it down. One of the former iAd execs said this to the WSJ [1]: >“I don’t believe they are interested in this capability because they have a strict policy around what they do with user data,” Crawford sa

Apple got this right from the beginning despite years of criticism about the "walled garden". They took arrows for years: all the "open always wins" from the FOSS types, all the press coverage of some app developer cryin

Jim Chanos: We think Tesla is worth zero [1] I've never understood why Tesla raised debt. They should have been issuing equity and nothing else, capitalizing on the insane valuation its had for the past 3-4 years. Debt would have been

I would almost guarantee you that the general public (as well as tech people, judging by the comments I've seen here) has no idea how Apple is different from everyone else when it comes to privacy/security, despite their attempts

Apple needs to vocally lobby for privacy legislation or it'll be way too easy for the internet industry to squash it. Facebook and Google have been using trade groups to fight privacy legislation for years where it can be "out of

Google was always responsible. From day one. Google has always exercised editorial control of their platform when it was in their commercial interests. They delete spam, porn, malware, etc. They tweak the search results to benefit their own

AWS should partner with Apple (like all their other enterprise partnerships) to hawk iOS and Mac devices as a complete solution. Although it would only really work if AWS goes further up the stack from IaaS.

The public doesn't care about appropriate capital ratios for "too big to fail" banks either, and yet Dodd-Frank passed. The internet industry may be banking on this blowing over, but I wouldn't be so sure. Especially if

Privacy regulations have value independent of its effects on competition. Making a Rube Goldberg argument about how it might end up benefiting Facebook ignores that fact. The solution to market dominance is antitrust enforcement.

There's a lot of comments here that superficially try to paint Apple as hypocrites but it falls apart the moment you actually think about it. Apple will hand over all user data in iCloud to any law enforcement agency with a warrant [1]

It's funny that this comment has 10 upvotes but fell to the bottom of the page. No doubt there's a lot of vested interests against privacy legislation. To the Facebook and Google employees: it's already in the EU, and it&#x27

I hope Apple follows up on this by actually lobbying for a GDPR bill to be passed in the US.

Pretty sure there's no API to access call logs. I know India's government wanted to create an app on iOS that could access that, purportedly for blocking spam, but Apple said no.

Don't get me wrong, I hope Apple (and the rest of the tech industry) try to kill the baby in the crib. But it'd be sticking your head in the sand and intellectually dishonest to say that law enforcement doesn't have a legitim

The reason this story even exists is because this issue of "lawful access" is not due to any individual personalities. It's clearly a priority at an institutional level, including the White House: >Against that backdrop,

I think some type of "lawful access" was inevitable. Law enforcement all over the world weren't going to just let the status quo fly. If it's going to happen hopefully Apple can do some jujutsu and get GDPR in the US out

Might as well formalize it by enacting it into law. Wouldn't want to have conflicting regulatory regimes decreasing business confidence.
