ceo pissing match Mark Zuckerberg forced execs to switch to Android phones because he got pissed off by Tim Cook's comments about Facebook privacy

[D13H4RD]

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with overpriced phones that are hard to repair over having my data mined without my knowledge despite explicitly stating that I don't want such data to be publicly known.

I hope he loses his cool and stops FB app for iOS. So that both shitty companies take a hit.

I doubt it’s something they’ll ever consider.

Yes, you can

No, I can't. In order for any outbound information to be used as personal information, you'd need to know it before hand. If you only have the information my systems have sent, you'd never be able to use it against me.

They’ll also not doing that because Apple needs Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and others

The problem with Facebook is that it's too big and has immunity for all sorts of things for which most other companies would bankrupt when they'd cock up. Or get such astronomical fines they'd stop dicking around. Like the last one for which Suckerberg was "questioned" in front of congress. Why the F even? Smack them with astronomical fine and repeat every time they do it. Huge corporations only learn through money. Or shall I say when they bleed large amounts of it...

 

The other baffling part are the users on Facebook. Facebook openly uses their personal info to make billions and everyone's fine with it. They cocked up and let basically everyone have access even to private data not shared with everyone. And everyone is fine with it. What the hell people, are they all so dumb or something? I bet they'd be fine with it if Facebook sold their house and their dog. Coz it's Facebook. Just wow. I think people really are this clueless, can't explain it any other way. Or they just plain don't care, which is frankly even more worrying.

It couldnt have gotten there without the CIA and other government backers. Same as google and amazon. They wont be shut down by the government that created them.

I'd rather not be tracked or have my data mined, about every other phone manufacturer is copying the notch and no headphone jack, its getting to the point I may as well get an iPhone. I would still like there to be another competitor with no tracking and no data mining by default ,no Facebook app, no notch,and a battery i can service without needing a heatgun and proprietary tools.

Spoiler

 

I get they have to keep their profit up and their majority user base happy that likely uses Facebook, but I dunno if Apple really cared they'd block Facebook for the actual health and security of their users, and Apple has the power and lawyers to win if Facebook sues.

let's compare. Windows 10 has tons of privacy options, and you can't opt-out of telemetry. meanwhile at apple: 

 

3 buttons, in one menu. at least on privacy, they are loads better than Micro$oft. 

They even ask you right at the start whether you would like to opt in, and show you an icon that indicates that you are sharing data.

 

Cook didn't even mention Zuck, so clearly he has taken the bait.
