    None of these options really call out the fact that FB didnโ€™t try to avoid the 30%, they just wanted to put a text line that says โ€œApple will take 30% from this transactionโ€ so that Fb users know that when they buy from a local business through FB app, the business will lose a cut to Apple (kind of ridiculous).

    FB does not take any revenue in the exchange. I know โ€œblue company badโ€ and โ€œfruit company goodโ€ but I donโ€™t really see how you can defend Apple in this PARTICULAR case.

      FB is making money off ads from these events and does not need any cut from the donations. Which it is not mentioning. Facebook is not donating any ad money from thesr events either. There are public posts where zuck said he has stopped donation and donation matching due to pandemic. Hiding the complete truth and playing the victim card is the classic โ€˜KARENโ€™ move.

    • Apple keeps restricting its ecosystem. The phones have a far better appeal but things such as this keep adding to customer dsat

    • Think of all the FB scandals past few years. People still flock to their apps because public memory is short and they donโ€™t care about ethics as long as they are getting what they want.
