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.”

how much of this involved the perp livestreaming on facebook? youre just listing shitty things shitty people did now so i doubt you even understand facebook's stake in the matter.

I'm also highlighting the difference in how the legacy media is treating the different events, whether there was a stream associated with whatever shitty thing happened or not, but if that's too complicated, then I'll try to use smaller words, in the future.

So since you can't make your point you have to stray off-topic?

Or maybe you're just trying to ignore that one group of race-obsessed autists gets vastly more negative coverage on both legacy and social media, while another group of race-obsessed autists get ignored?

If that was the fact, you wouldn't need to go so deep off the rails and still fail to make a point though.

Go ahead and have the last word if that's what you need because this is tiresome.

Laura Loomer was permabanned from Twitter for repeating exactly the same kind of material as Louis Farrakhan, but race-swapped. Other examples of exactly that phenomenon exist. Spergon of Assmad was booted from Patreon while numerous AntiFa groups were permitted to remain on the platform until Tim Pool blatantly commented on them in at least 2 videos.

Loomer and Spergon are lolcows anyway, it's only a matter of time before they are booted due to heavy retardation lol

So you are really annoyed about hypocritical and inconsistent de-platforming based on political bias. Fair enough. Still, I would argue that you are not one of the most ardent defenders of these exceptional dullard individuals.


So for the others in this thread, where did the SJW's touch you? Where did they violate you? We are really dying to know the story. Cmon. Please just open up. Is this Gamergate 2:The Second Front for you guys? This level of arguing just about inconsistent de-platforming of idiots has to be from a more deep seated fear. We really want to know. Stop teasing us!

You do know that censorship always ends in a legitimate slippery slope? Not the fallacy, but a pattern throughout history, which means SJW's get the "bullet" (Censorship) sooner or later too. It wasn't just a few months ago that feminist bashing on men were upset that although any negative statements about women were being banned, they got upset that they themselves were then being banned for negative comments of men.

That's a blanket ban and something that people are fine with. IF you're going to hold double standards, then it looks like you're coming from a place of self-righteous bias and are either excusing it or trying to create a trend of censorship and I'll ask you like I asked every other SJW almost two years ago... Where do we draw the line of pushing for more censorship? They didn't have an answer and using the term "Well only extremist" isn't a sound answer either. Considering how vague that term has become.

Let me add, I don't know why overall anyone has to be censored unless they are leading a gang of violent extremist down a road massacring people. If someone wants to present a stupid or extreme argument let everyone hear it and make everyone decide how they view it. You talk about fear, but I consider it cowardly to have to censor my enemies when I can easily just tear through their arguments like swiss cheese with my own verbal lashing,

Before someones goes "But muh White supremacy gathering." White supremacist of all classes are at 5,000 members in the US. That's less than 1% of 1%, most other racial supremacist as a whole make up larger number of not only members but of "supremacist" groups. (I use it in quotes to mean not just racially) [I merely use the numbers for the US because it is a large amount of Facebook users on average, it may not be all, but I doubt numbers are much larger world wide and if someone is making that claim I'd like sources please, the fear mongering of a large extonential White supremacist uprising is fear mongering of itself.]

So what's the deep seated fear there of them speaking exactly or holding the broad brush against all supremacist groups? IF we're talking about silencing idiots, I don't find other supremacist any more intelligent by the same meter. If you don't like seeing their content or posts to counter/debate/ridicule as you claim then there's an easy option on most sites, it's called "ignore" generally I prefer not to use mine on any supremacist or extremist because as you claimed they are idiots, and easy to dismantle. Heck, I don't like to ignore any posters but that's just my personal perspective.

But I'll ask do you have a deep seated fear if they aren't censored they'll somehow grow or that you and others may not be able to actually disprove them? Double edged sword question you imposed to those on the opposition.

Issue is, the standards applied to them (rightly or wrongly being entirely irrelevant) are not the standards being applied to other users, and instead of twitter moving further towards user-centred curation, they've offered more and more options that are easily and seemingly frequently abused by bad actors, the majority of which have been angry assholes on the left, on twitter and other social media platforms.

Milo, as big a lolcow as he is, got ejected from twitter for "inciting a twitter mob" on Leslie Jones, while Cathy Griffin publicly asked for the dox of the Covington kids, and I think she might have been forced to delete the tweet. Both of them are ludicrous, autistic and great popcorn material, but there's a decided bias being displayed.

Refusing to allow racism on your platform is not a slippery slope. And if it is, it’s sliding us to a better place.

Censorship of any speech is the start of a slope, you can try any disingenuous claim "But it's extremism!" all you want, but it also doesn't answer my question. Are the extremists and racist easy to counter, mock, and ridicule? If not, why? Then again, if ti's about solely racism, then why not censor blanket a broad group of all supremacist?

Unless you think sexism is acceptable, or other "isms" but even then when it came to sexism (despite historical mistreatment of one specific sex or another) both groups were banned. So the excuse "But it's not the same" Also doesn't hold water.

Lastly "Better place." A place where we can't discount extremist and they can nab people and grab them in the secrecy of other areas of the internet, or by nabbing people who are then of the mind set that they must be censored for a more overt reason. The optics do not create such a good picture, and it's not because "Muh racism."

I think that I was pretty clear. I think their cause is inane and most of them are speds for trying to post this kind of thing on a site for boomers. I wasn't kidding. White supremacy is boring empty sophistry to me. That's it. I don't clutch pearls or worry about them. They are a tiny number. The fact that I am white and no longer have to have the speds hanging around as an inbred reminder there are idiots that have some similarity however small is a bonus.

This honestly isn't censorship to me. Really it isn't. They are idiots. I find humor in it. That is the point of this site, humor.

There is clearly something you are all worried about and it is about time you stop dancing around it. A number of us behind the scenes are watching this thread descend into pontification with post like yours for free speech and wondering if you are still butthurt from gamergate or something else the danger hairs did. SJW fucktards are their own worst enemy, just like people who die on worthless hills. To me you are both 2 sides of the same disingenuous coin. You hate them so much that you will eventually become them. We have a series of threads that proved it.

 

[DarkResearchAnon]

Finally found them, I have an archive of memoryholed black crimes against white victims, each infographic has a find-a-grave-link (if applicable), a bunch of links about the crime and what happened to the criminal. And photos.
I have 125, but more exist. This is just a small selection.
Frankly, I give no shits about calls for equality, as it has proven totally useless in the face of such unfeeling monsters.
Only real cure for these is quarantine

Not having them around on a platform won't actually stop them from ceasing to exist. So you haven't actually removed them or hidden them at all, all you'll do is make them either become more clever and start using coded languages and hide in plain site, or just create the solution when you will have just made them more fanatical and possibly given them the inclination they are justified in their beliefs hence the need for censorship.

By definition it is. What you consider is not really relative to reality. I could stop people from commenting on one of the forums I moderate from posting progressive nonsense because they are idiots, but I couldn't argue with a grain of honesty or reality that it isn't censorship by refusing them the ability to comment or speak at all. You can argue for justifications of banning White supremacist, and I'd be willing to listen but so far I see people dancing around those justifications of not pushing a blanket ban.

Normally people who make assumptions of others and push the idea they are hiding an agenda are hiding an agenda themselves. Projection is pretty obvious and apparent when you try to make assumptions of others, don't be surprised when they sense blood in the waters from your own claims. I'm not even from Gamergate so I'm not sure what relevance that brings to the table but it sounds like instead of addressing my questions you'd prefer to throw wild accusations and throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

"I hate them so much that I will allow them to speak to me so I can discount their arguments." Lol. Your argument lacks self reflection and broadly doesn't make any logical or rational sense. Make whatever broad claim you want, it's certainly proven you have a disconnect from reality just like everyone else you claim has as well.

you stockpile infographics of black people victimizing white people? how many of them involve your sister and big, black cock?

lol yea youre right 4 black guys kicking the autistic irl about trump is on the same level as the mass murder of 50 people.

Lefties can get pretty violent.

Regardless, targetting white supremacists to the exclusion of literally any other group is basically justifying their conspiratorial mindset.

Not really following your logic here, are you meaning to say that these crimes justify the white supremacy movement?

All I'm getting from your post is that violent cretins and extremists are awful, whatever color or creed.

 

[RG 448]

If so, then I seem to recall a couple times white people committed crimes against black people too.
