Poor snowflakes... From facebook.com Now I have some respect for Apple at getting even with Facebook for basically stealing info from Apple phone users with an app that broke Apple's rules. Apple has blocked Facebook's internal apps from working on employees' phones, The Verge reported. The move was in response to reports this week that Facebook's misused Apple's enterprise-app program, meant for internal use in a company, to run a research app that gathered data on people's phone activity in exchange for payment. Facebook said it was shutting down the app, which paid people (including teens) up to $20 a month to install a virtual private network used to track data and activity. Apple later contradicted Facebook's statement with one that said it had revoked Facebook's enterprise certificates after finding it had violated its developer policies. The move has big ramifications for Facebook, as employees are reportedly locked out of internal apps. The streaming news network Cheddar described some as saying they thought Facebook was being "unfairly targeted" ( Poor snowflakes!) by Apple.
