What's really funny is that he says Google is ruled by people who only care about product and that platform is suffering, whereas amazon is all services by edict.

Case 2: they are a connection provider, so they have to allow you to use the connection in any way you can.

Analogy: could they legally have a phone plan like 20/mo unlimited calls 30/mo unlimited calls + 50 faxes


So facebook does nothing to restrict apps to the permissions they request? what's the point then?
