Facebook megathread

https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/30/18203551/apple-facebook-blocked-internal-ios-apps

Apple has shut down Facebook’s ability to distribute internal iOS apps, from early releases of the Facebook app to basic tools like a lunch menu. A person familiar with the situation tells The Verge that early versions of Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and other pre-release “dogfood” (beta) apps have stopped working, as have other employee apps, like one for transportation. Facebook is treating this as a critical problem internally, we’re told, as the affected apps simply don’t launch on employees’ phones anymore.

The shutdown comes in response to news that Facebook has been using Apple’s program for internal app distribution to track teenage customers with a “research” app.

That app, revealed yesterday by TechCrunch, was distributed outside of the App Store using Apple’s enterprise program, which allows developers to use special certificates to install more powerful apps onto iPhones. Those apps are only supposed to be used by a company’s employees, however, and Facebook had been distributing its tracking app to customers. Facebook later said it would shut down the app.

This poses a huge issue for Facebook. While Apple provides other tools a company can use to install apps internally, Apple’s enterprise program is the main solution for widely distributing internal apps and services. In an email, a Facebook spokesperson said “I can confirm that this affects our internal apps.”

In a statement given to Recode, Apple said that Facebook was in “clear breach of their agreement with Apple.” Any developer that breaches that agreement, Apple said, has their distribution certificates revoked, “which is what we did in this case to protect our users and their data.” Apple declined to comment on shutting down all of Facebook’s internal apps in an email to The Verge.

Revoking a certificate not only stops apps from being distributed on iOS, but it also stops apps from working. And because internal apps by the same organization or developer may be connected to a single certificate, it can lead to immense headaches like the one Facebook now finds itself in where a multitude of internal apps have been shut down.

Apple and Facebook have already been bickering over privacy, but this is the first instance of Apple taking an action that directly shuts down some of Facebook’s activities. Last March, Apple CEO Tim Cook criticized Facebook’s handling of the Cambridge Analytica data sharing scandal, saying, “I wouldn’t be in this situation” if he were running the company. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg later said the comments were “extremely glib” and spoke of Apple as a company that “work hard to charge you more.”

What difference does it make that person the same color as me did something bad to a person the same color as someone else?

None, but it explains the lingering resentment because of generations of systemic abuse. And the sentiments behind that abuse clearly haven’t gone away, as evidenced by this very thread.

How many years did white people spend under legalized segregation in the US? Or as slaves? It’s not the same thing lmao

You act as if Black people have never enslaved Whites in any part of history or that all of history only surmounts to what happens in the US. Also no Blacks alive today were ever legal slaves, poor excuse.

Identity politics and indoctrination doesn't give an excuse for blatant racism, so I'd recommend not attempting to use it as a shield (and a very poor one at that)...

 

[DarkResearchAnon]

What's next, banning pictures of white mothers holding white children under "white Supremacy"
Moreover, why not start mass flagging all pictures of intact white families, white babies, white wedding photos, old white advertisements as those tags forcing normal, ordinary white people to hate facebook, and stir up a ton of salt in the process?

Right. Learning from the past is dumb.

Yeah those lynchings their grandparents had to be afraid of are no excuse for lingering resentment at a system that had to be forced to change.

Lynchings were not every day occurrences. Contrary to peddled bull crap revisionist history, and even then less than 5% of Africans (Black people) in America had any ties to slavery or the era of when lynchings did occur, even then not all lynchings were just done because "Black man Black." There are quite a few accounts of even non-minorities getting lynched over their crimes they committed which were often heinous.

Every country has to change, and most countries haven't so they harbor resentment for people who DID change, when the vast majority of people including their own race in Africa haven't? Sounds like double standards to me. When Blacks stop selling their children into slavery in Africa come call me. Then I'll give a crap.

I think you're on the wrong site, Mr. Sharpton, Democratic Underground is that-a-way.

Fair enough, that’s completely relevant to people who live in the US

You're the one trying to set a goal post and then you admitted people in America did change and allowed the system to change. Show me any other country in history who capitulated to minorities. Go ahead, I'll wait.

 

[ConfederateIrishman]

lol the slavery and lynchings were more racist

So my tribe's subjugation at the hands of the English for over 800 years means nothing?

 

[Freddy Freaker]

So when white separatists want to live away from black people in a separate nation it's bad unlike when black separatists want to live away from white people in a separate nation.

Idk those sound like the same exact thing to me but when white people so it it's automatically evil. Oh right, those evil honkeys just don't wanna do gibsmedats for people who were never slaves.

When the US government did reparations for Japanese internment, they paid the people who were actually in the camps. It wasnt a free for all for anyone with Japanese heritage

Austria-Hungary, although it didn't work out too great for them.

We are run by nazis though.

Dear god, it's worse than I thought. Has anyone informed Mossad?

We’re now talking about reparations in a discussion about facebook banning racism. I think that says more than I ever could.

Considering all the gratitude and other positive outcomes we reaped from that particular brilliant move, I can't see why more countries don't do this.

Nope. Micks dont have the proper melanin to be kangz n shiet. Black activists and SJWs either belittle or deny the suffering of the Irish. You're just an irish soda cracker

True, I'm sure you could also mention Rome, but I was meaning places that didn't commit suicide in the process.

Not going to lie, I'm starting to wonder if we (the US) made the wrong decision as well. I know future countries won't do this ever again seeing how nothing is ever good enough for grievance vultures and history revisionist.

Agreed, I hardly see the point of discontinuing segregation if the people who had to fight for equal rights aren’t even going to be grateful about it.

It's ironic. If we had gotten rid of slavery the way every other country in the world did instead of with a civil war (one at least partially fought over the issue of slavery), it's unlikely we would have these problems today.

Have some primary sources to read on the issue, and the underlined words in the articles are hyperlinked sources for each bit.
What I like about the radish, is that it goes into brutal truth and has a carefully researched argument each with actual historical documents written by people whom were there at the time and place to back it up. I particularly like the Slave narratives from the 30's with actual surviving slaves telling their life stories to college students, complete with their accents!
Also, The ones on Black History are of special note because they compare and contrast recent events with historical ones and urge you to make up your own mind.
