@KateAurthur @zeynep After two days my 11 year old has informed me that this is no big deal because you just do the same four answers every time - “you don’t have to read anything.” — PolitiTweet.org

This goes into the same category as constant surface wiping: Some of it is well-meaning, some of it is legal ass-covering. All of it was understandable in spring and summer 2020, but not now. — PolitiTweet.org

This is why the “apple is going to lose its App Store margin” isn’t the forgone conclusion many hot takes offered last week. Apple *could* see margin/revenues drop but it’s not a done deal, at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Who are the people who get on a packed subway car full of masked people and don’t put their own mask on? Also, WTF? — PolitiTweet.org

You might think the NFL’s consistently janky app indicates how happy the league is to make billions selling rights and letting other people figure out tech and distribution. But I see it as a small kindness, bc it prevents me from consuming Vikings #content. https://t.co/eIb7u8f2zF — PolitiTweet.org

Ah we are here again. So, again: Don’t get a master’s in journalism. Get a job in journalism. If you’re really rich/into debt, go ahead and subsidize your low-paying journalism intro job. But don’t pay anyone directly to get into journalism. — PolitiTweet.org

@reckless @backlon I read the same screenshot and see her calling out anti-steering and secrecy, and calling for transparency. Which I read as roll your own store, tell people where to find it. Not roll your own store and run it on apple’s store. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@reckless @backlon Sure. But apple’s critics don’t seem to believe it either. Obviously we will see tests (in and out of court). But back to Occam. If YGR wanted to do something other than let apps direct users out of the app, why not just say that? She certainly understands the mechanics. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Kafka @pkafka

@backlon @reckless I think the court means button and links *are* the same thing - things that take you out of the app. If YGR wanted to tell devs/Apple that this could happen in the app she’d just write that in plaintext. So we’ll see! — PolitiTweet.org

NFL has been dangling this to the tech guys since 2013. Makes sense that Amazon could be the one that bites. https://t.co/EuZ3tEOvlp — PolitiTweet.org
