They don’t leave the play store because, and exclusively because, Google allows them to do anything they want. Apple does not. The literally exact day a similar law goes into effect in the US, it’s an absolute guarantee Facebook leaves the App Store with every single app they have. There’s not even the slight possibility they stay there.
Lol you think they would just leave and pray everyone follows them? I reckon it would be hilarious to see who wins between iPhones and Instagram when influencers are shown a huge warning about untrusted apps.
No, the truth is that there would be two versions of the app with two different prices, to attract people to the alternative store. Which would probably be Facebook’s own closed garden, so again, a low risk for the end user (who would have also to opt into that “risk”).
I’m actually wondering, what does Facebook care about that. After all their revenue comes from ads, not in app purchases. Or am I missing something?
There isn’t guesswork involved. They know for certain that people will. They have network effect on their side. Their entire audience is captive. Anyone willing to leave already has after the hundreds of different “revelations” of how fucking disgusting everything they have ever touched is.
They aren’t selling anything but your privacy. It’s Apple’s limitations on being overt malware that they’d be bypassing, and it is absolutely guaranteed that they would do so the literal minute they can.
Yes, it would.
