@curtisprobably The cynical part of me thinks Apple will end support for Boot Camp in order to push people toward Mac-native applications, whose revenue Apple will be able to take a cut of via the Mac App Store. — PolitiTweet.org

@curtisprobably I’ve tried it occasionally and was never really as happy with the performance compared to running it natively for some reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Only true nerds will remember the epic controversy when Apple broke from skeumorphism and adopted all-flat icon designs beginning in iOS 7. Well now dropshadows are back in MacOS! https://t.co/2RG2MZ20Ye — PolitiTweet.org

There are obviously important nuances here but the timing of this is a little sensitive given the national conversation we’re having around face recognition, doorbell surveillance footage and policing. — PolitiTweet.org

Apple says HomeKit-enabled doorbell cameras will now support face recognition for people whose faces you’ve linked in your contacts https://t.co/CIbeh09YZj — PolitiTweet.org

So far I haven’t seen any other major brands hint that their ad boycotts of Facebook could last beyond July. https://t.co/3GZVFIftzB — PolitiTweet.org

They were created to protest Covid-19 lockdowns. Now, these Facebook groups have become hotbeds of misinformation and conspiracy theories: https://t.co/FHJDJzaCug — PolitiTweet.org

And a spokesman for @thenorthface’s parent company tells me other brands in the company’s portfolio are “considering” an ad boycott of Facebook too — but won’t say which ones. VF Corp. controls Dickies, Smartwool, Timberland and Vans, among others. https://t.co/JetzpQSOp1 — PolitiTweet.org

@donie Just jumping into the replies here to flag a quick correction — The North Face has clarified that it *is* suspending ads on Instagram as part of this commitment, but it will continue to create organic content on Instagram. The updated story here: https://t.co/JetzpQSOp1 — PolitiTweet.org

Quick correction to this: The North Face *is* suspending ads on Instagram as part of this commitment, but it is also continuing to create organic content for it. https://t.co/JetzpQSOp1 — PolitiTweet.org

The IRS unsuccessfully tried to use cellphone location data to find criminal suspects, per @ByronTau: https://t.co/8wOZqX52dk — PolitiTweet.org

The same spokesperson said they could only speak for The North Face and not about whether other brands held by VF Corp., like Vans or Timberland, may follow suit. https://t.co/JetzpQSOp1 — PolitiTweet.org

When I asked about Instagram, The North Face told me its ad boycott is about Facebook “specifically”: https://t.co/JetzpQSOp1 https://t.co/ikNbpJaLZc — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook changed its mind on commenting. Here’s Carolyn Everson, a Facebook VP: “We deeply respect any brand’s decision and remain focused on the important work of removing hate speech and providing critical voting information.” https://t.co/SOL7yC1P3l https://t.co/NC5KBcIWTy — PolitiTweet.org

A month’s worth of advertising budget is probably not a huge deal to them particularly given that nobody’s buying stuff during the pandemic anyway. https://t.co/PKyMlUuHq7 https://t.co/rYVu6zQjm2 — PolitiTweet.org

Remember that the commitment under #StopHateForProfit is for companies to pull ads for only a month (though TNF says its move is effective as of today). — PolitiTweet.org

@joshsternberg Yup. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

Facebook is declining to comment on The North Face pulling its ads. The North Face is declining to share with me the size of its marketing budget, but its parent company spent more than $750 million on ads in the year leading up to March 2020, per financial filings. — PolitiTweet.org
