I was waiting for the zinger: Apple discovered this when they called Facebook and before Facebook answered, Apple heard them say, "don't tell them about our certificate use."

I'm taking apple's side on this one.
Apple is just apple, but fb is once again abusing the Internet in ways that would cause national uproar if a government did it.

Is Facebook in a pissing contest with Google to see who can be the most evil? Seems that Twitter wants in as well.

I don't know about in-game charges, but I'd like to see serious charges brought against fb.

Agreed.
I’m in the middle of “Bad Blood” tight now (about Theranos), and I can’t help but wonder just how much of the deceit and greed also applies to FB, Twitter, etc. Certainly the hubris does.

I am reading Bad Blood too and it's a fascinating story, it does look like Holmes is probably going to go to jail for what she did given her recent depositions that can be found somewhere on youtube(apparently some 600 or so "I don't know" answers to simple questions about what was going on in Theranos at the time).
Certainly Apple have not been too honest with its customers when they previously explained that customers were holding their devices incorrectly, in order to explain reception issues.

I'll have to pick up a copy of that book.

Cheers to you and Kent for the recommendation.

Research analysis finds that a moderate level of piracy can have a positive impact on the bottom line for both the manufacturer and the retailer -- and not at the expense of consumers. "It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy."
