As a googler, I’m not offended. “Abide by the terms of your agreements,” or, as Stranger Things would put it, “friends don’t lie.” That being said, I am in popcorn mode to see what act of contrition apple will demand.

I would also loooove to know how this clusterfuck came about. But I guess we will never know that. I doubt this crosses Sundar’s desk, but I would be curious to know where the buck did stop. Was counsel involved or did a couple of teams just adopt a better to seek forgiveness stance?

I haven't seen any people offended by it. I know some people are disappointed because of internal apps that are no longer accessible, e.g. dogfood builds, transportation app, apps to contact security, identification app, etc.

Won’t speak for others but I’m one FB employee and also an iOS user. I’m not offended by Apple’s move.
