Apple rejects Facebook app that tells users Apple takes 30% cut https://www.cnbc.com/2020/08/28/apple-rejects-facebook-app-that-says-apple-takes-30percent-cut.html “Facebook launched an online event feature that lets businesses host paid online events. Facebook planned to say in the app that “Apple takes 30% of this purchase” in its new iOS version of the feature. Apple rejected Facebook’s attempt to inform users that it would collect 30% of in-app purchases in its new online events feature.” Now Apple is regulating speech so that users cannot even be informed that Apple is taking a cut. They’re looking more and more like the Chinese communist government everyday. #facebook #apple #appstore #monopoly

FB can go and screw themselves.
Apple can sodomize themselves
What you two idiots look like right now: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/mobile/000/023/397/C-658VsXoAo3ovC.jpg
Classic apple
FB should also say how much they take.
Communist? More like capitalist.
Communism can exist in capitalism
Nothing about this story is even remotely communist.
Merchant agreements for credit cards also prohibit merchants from putting on receipts what the CC company charges.
Do they ban merchants from using their services if they do that? The take by cc’s tends to be obscured writ large. Apple is open about their 30% take. Why can’t their devs share that as well?
Their cut is pretty small by comparison 2% or so I think
FB should tell users what data they’re collecting and how they’re using it.
We do. We put up user notices at the top of feed. We have dialogs when you log in with Facebook. People don’t want to incessantly see that notice with every interaction. For example, it’s annoying af that every time I go to a website I have to consent to cookies. It’s massively added to the number of clicks/tap I have to take just to clear out the UI so I can view full screen.
We even allow you to control and delete your data.
Facebook should stop stealing user data and stalking them. They just want Apple to not care about user privacy and let Facebook do whatever they want. This isn’t about small businesses. Imagine if Apple put a banner while downloading Facebook saying “ this app is known to sell your private data for profit”
Apple only listens to Xi Jinping. If China demands, Apple will bend over to make them happy.
Facebook is the company to learn ethics from 😂 their whole business model is based on stealing user data and stalking.
Apple are you really gonna make that argument here? FB doesn’t operate in China simply because it disagrees with CCP data sharing policies (as well as a slew of other things). Apple on the other hand 🤔. There is a reason Apple operates in China and FB doesn’t and if you’re too blind to see why that is, please don’t make baseless accusations.
I’ll take appl for $500 plz
