I wish I could be as optimistic as you are. I think Facebooks reach is just to big to actually force it to become good. Sure, you might make it change certain practices, but at the end of the day, they would still find 'problematic&#x2

> "But obviously we’ll take a look at it if that’s the case.” Take a look and what? If the app does do what everyone says it does (including the Saudis) will Apple remove the app?

I don't think the neutrality argument works here. Because by having this app Google and Apple are clearly siding with the Saudi government. The neutral thing to do was not to allow this app, but to also not allow an app that for exampl

It's great to know that even failed technological attempts, can still result in scientific discovery (even if in this case, the discovery was that Einstein is still correct).

It's just a list of previous cases of money laundering and the fines to the entities (mostly banks) involved. Would be nice if for example they mentioned the overall impact of the illegal transactions on the entire systems, or maybe ch

I agree that they were probably mistaken in 'market share' when in reality it should have been market penetration. But I think they idea was to say that Facebook has data or can get data relating to 80 percent of the population, s

There's a chance I'm mostly just being hopeful, and you're right in both that Trump would totally support doing something like that, and that the intelligence agencies aren't a single entity. >>For me it checks out

In what way is this better then other similar apps, such as Signal, which is already an open source messaging app?

I really doubt that it was done by a US government entity. Trump is the president and all, but to hack and release (by a third party) the personal information if a citizen (not suspected or related to any crime) seems to me to be something

What does the "in good faith" mean? Of course if as a hobby I want to use their patent to help me build/improve my electric car, then now they won't sue me. But the question is, what if I'm Tesla's competitor,

Definitely agree. I know good people working for Facebook, but it does make me think "After everything you know about Facebook, the fact you would still work there, makes me respect you a lot less"

I agree. I also think that we need a lot more regulations, because the problem isn't only Facebook, there are so many companies that hold/collect/sell our information, and that's the bigger problem in my opinion, Facebo

Pretty interesting. I haven't worked in Google, but from my experience in a startup, I totally agree at least with some of your points (my experience wasn't that great, so perhaps the other points were what was missing)
