    Apple is doing this instead of requiring app developers to implement and maintain their own system, which is what Android is doing.

    The question comes down to who trust more, any random app developer or a single entity.

    For example this means meta doesn’t have to verify their iOS users because iOS already has.

    I’m sure most people in this thread are coming at this all from a morally superior position about how they don’t use meta but they also don’t use iOS devices so this is another bit of outrage.

    No one here is actually anything besides get upset about something that doesn’t effect them. The internet has become a silly place.

      To put it simply, I do in fact care a great deal, because Android is also moving towards centralization from Google. It’s bad. It’s all bad.

      These companies can’t be trusted with their identity, and they’ve been demonstrably untrustworthy for over a decade. Have you heard of Total Information Awareness and its spawn? PRISM? Palantir?

        Yes. It’s all bad. The solution is to get rid of these political stooges. Dealing with capitalists is a different topic. There is some cross over with the poltical stoogery but that’s all there is.
