Not only Facebook. Also other developers. Like Airbnb and classpass for example.

Yeah that's mentioned in the article as well.

Kind of takes the wind out of the, "same rules for everyone...level playing field" argument.

These are the same rules for everyone. Any 1:1 in-app interactions are temporarily exempted from in-app purchases as they'd typically be exempt due to happening out of the app

AirBnb isn't always 1:1

I wouldn't say these are the same rules for everyone. These are the rules for companies which happen to fall under the same class of exemptions that FB lobbied for.

Any rule is universally applicable if the rule narrowly defines the target ;P.

> the pause on fees for online events by Apple is happening for all developers

Only 1:1 events are in that pause. For 1:many events, you must be in the special class of developer with easy access to the media coverage.
