I had the same reaction, but then… Do you think they care?

They’re probably the most installed application worldwide. Definitely the most installed social media application worldwide.

I just googled it, and the top result was Facebook, and then Instagram. If that’s correct, “fucking go right ahead, I guess? Kick me off your platforms. I already dominated both of them.” -zuck, probably.

FB is dependent on Android and iOS, not the other way around.

Android != The Google Play store

iOS != The App store.

Consider that result if apple and google suddenly yanked the app off the store, within 5 years facebook wouldnt exist on mobile devices.

Sigh i can dream

I doubt that would be even close to his response right now. He tried to do some level of that with Apple’s upgrades to privacy that allowed you to neuter apps basically. He thought he would get an exception because we are Facebook we will just pull out!

What he got instead was a line in a investor call talking about how the changes in apple’s privacy and transparency rules took a bigger bite out of revenue than expected because it turns out when asked if you want to be tracked people almost always said no

Of course they are. Facebook comes pre-installed with no way to actually uninstall it.

“Google and Apple should manage consent, but let me manage payments directly so I don’t have to pay them.”

Misleading headline. I watched the hearing, what he said was that parental controls should be centralized by Apple/Google at the app store level. To simplify the process so that parents can cut access to apps for their kids without needing to manage parental controls for a bunch of apps

What is sad is this already can be done, but parents are either not educated in the process of how or don’t care enough to.

Unfortunately yes. From my 3rd grade daughter’s class she the only one with parental controls turned on on her phone. The amount of time and the things those kids see and do on the internet with unrestricted access at this age is mentally unhealthy and they are just not ready for that. Unfortunately because of that it also means I can’t fully prevent her from being exposed to that in the classroom.
