Somehow, what surprised me the most here—given Apple's recent news—is the fact that they were able to strong-arm Facebook into complying. One would think that, if there are companies with enough leverage to ignore Apple's odd whims, Facebook would be one of them.

What did Facebook comply with?

> Similarly, when Facebook wanted to inform its users that 30% of the fees users were paying for online events went to Apple, Apple didn’t let Facebook do it saying this information was (once more) “irrelevant”.

That's the passage I meant. I wouldn't have imagined that Apple would be in the capacity of letting or not letting Facebook do something.

On a separate note, you seem to have replied to pretty much everyone in this thread, may I ask why?

I got into a dialog with ‘Jedimind’.

That has brought me back to the thread more often than I would usually bother with, and I’ve commented on things that seem to have more complexity to them than is apparent.
