I had the same reaction, but then… Do you think they care?
They’re probably the most installed application worldwide. Definitely the most installed social media application worldwide.
I just googled it, and the top result was Facebook, and then Instagram. If that’s correct,“fucking go right ahead, I guess? Kick me off your platforms. I already dominated both of them.”-zuck, probably.
I doubt that would be even close to his response right now. He tried to do some level of that with Apple’s upgrades to privacy that allowed you to neuter apps basically. He thought he would get an exception because we are Facebook we will just pull out!
What he got instead was a line in a investor call talking about how the changes in apple’s privacy and transparency rules took a bigger bite out of revenue than expected because it turns out when asked if you want to be tracked people almost always said no

FB is dependent on Android and iOS, not the other way around.
Android != The Google Play store
iOS != The App store.
Sure you can make a pendatic point instead of engaging the conversation.
Considering sideloading on iOS wasn’t a thing until 17.2, the comment is functionally the same.
Android your statement carries a bit more meaning, but I’d guess the huge majority of Android users are still only getting apps from the play store.
Consider that result if apple and google suddenly yanked the app off the store, within 5 years facebook wouldnt exist on mobile devices.
Sigh i can dream

Of course they are. Facebook comes pre-installed with no way to actually uninstall it.
