Hard to blame Apple. I mean, for a good chunk of time that app hardly had content standards at all. It was effectively unmoderated for a time due to bad management.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.
Yep, this seems like the exact kind of thing companies would enforce with MDM.
I know one of my previous companies would enforce certain settings were changed if you wanted to install the MDM profile on a BYOD phone (like minimum 8 digit PIN), so requiring you to opt out of OpenAI Siri integration seems like a policy MDMs would offer.
(Though I would never install a company’s MDM profile on my personal phone lol - if they want me to be accessible and have work apps, they can provide a separate work phone)
This'll end up just like the Microsoft/Netscape Navigator antitrust suit where Microsoft got broken up and sued out of existence for trying to suffocate Netscape Navigator by denying it access to the Windows Operating System. Netscape, originally the underdog, super-won and turned into Mozilla which is now a multi-trillion dollar company that provides a shining beacon of consumer rights done right.
Oh wait, I just remembered: Netscape died and barely anything changed—only the public ever really loses. Billionaires paying thousands of dollars in fines to fight for their turn to shit on their customers.
I know it's a common meme but it still annoys me. Netscape's own JWZ wrote about how Netscape destroyed itself. I have personal experience with Netscape being full of itself, buggy, and forcing myself and all other small isp owners (which were over 50% of the market at the time) to ship Internet Explorer CDs to customers despite our really wanting to ship Netscape.
Yes, Netscape really shot themselves in the foot with their premium browser and then shit in the wound with Communicator. All that Microsoft contributed was forcing people not to work with the septic poo-footed browser, but getting caught up in that kind of detail would have made people stop reading my comment. Gotta farm every sweet little upvote I can get so that my family will finally be proud of me when they print my karma in my obituary.
The great thing about the prolonged Musk meltdown is that he always responds by doubling down. So the more he gets ridiculed, the more he throws these ridiculous tantrums. Won't be long until we're in the drug-fueled endgame
