The "Apple Move" is not "crippling" for Facebook except perhaps for a few days productivity on one platform client; however it _is_ a demonstration of deeply sloppy fuckwittage by whatever team are charged with carrying the #Onavo flag forwards on iOS.
My rant from yesterday, stands; and from feedback I'll adapt my position on #3 somewhat: when you grow to be big enough, perhaps it behooves you to take extra steps to demonstrate clean hands — which the #Onavo data-collection approach did not:
It's quite good to see that #Google looked at the #Facebook mess and decided to do a very quick about-turn with their similar product: techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/goo…
1/ Looking at the press, I strongly believe that if @Facebook wants its envisioned end-to-end unification of the #Messenger, #WhatsApp and #Instagram platforms to work, that it needs to dump #Onavo and kick it to the kerb.
2/ That said: I believe there's nuance — if competent people want to sign up for a service, even get paid for it, and it involves them being watched like lab rats and they are informed of this, then fine, go for it, knock yourselves out, enjoy the free service or the income.
3/ Mentally I put this sort of observation/monitoring stuff in much the same space as "Nielsen", and the primary disgust that people exhibit here is because "it's Facebook" — feel free to change my mind?
