    Wow. I like 1Password but I don’t use it much anymore. Time to use only Keychain.

    Time for an Apple social media app?

    iLife with bells on.
    I think they tried it somewhat. Anyone remember Ping? 

    Maybe it was too soon or Apple just didn’t put a full push behind it like they don’t do for Apple TV and Apple TV+ now. 

    A stand-alone competitor from Apple would work but they won’t do anything like that. They’ve got iMessage which matches Messenger. FaceTime. App tie ins like App clips. Location services. A HUGE already base. The privacy game going. They could put adds in front of people but not use tracking to do it. Just impressions with specific targets or target if someone doesn’t have problem with being tracked.

    Rail all you want about how despicable FarceBook can be, but they are within their rights to take this action, however hypocritical it might be.  Facebook is no more required to carry content on their platform than Apple is.
    You are correct sir.

    I have a question. Has Facebook become so important in Australia that they are a necessity? Should they be deemed a utility and government regulated?

    It’s a private company that built a platform for people to share content or whatever with friends and family right? The news outlets saw Facebook as a way to gain more of an audience right? The advertisers get more impressions on Facebook because so many people use it so they spend more there right? Now the news outlets want the government to force Facebook to pay them? Can’t they just take their content off Facebook and pass legislation that says Facebook or any social media outlets can’t show news content? They can say because it’s third hand or that Facebook and other social media outlets don’t have investigative reporters so they aren’t a qualified source. If Facebook wants the content THEN they have to pay for it like streaming services have to pay for content. Facebook can always build their own news service or start partnerships like Apple does for news content. 

    DISCLAIMER. I don’t use Facebook for news or anything else. I don’t want them owning my content or data and using it for free. I don’t want them tracking me either on their apps or the apps of others. Can’t wait for iOS 14.5. I am not saying what they did is right but I think if they want the content then they should have to pay. If the news outlets WILLINGLY use Facebook to reach a bigger audience then get off or negotiate some deals. The news outlets really have the power in my eyes. Mobilize the citizens. Too much government regulation isn’t a good thing right? This is about money and who is loosing it. Ad dollars. 

    I had several questions. Lol.
