And funny enough.. my point was JUST proven [0]
Google does the SAME DAMN THING! and yet apple did not go heavy handed, because, well, money???
But its great to see how an informed crowd like HackerNews behaves just like any other inflamed mob.

Since Apple didn't catch Facebook either, but reacted half a day after the media report, I don't think taking this 3 hour old story as "Apple isn't doing anything to Google!!!" is reliable: We'll see what happens.

(replying to the reply of my comment, since threading doesn't go further)
Do you think apple does not have reports of the number of users that have apps installed via an enterprise cert?
That's pretty much the basic type of stats you would gather when having an enterprise licensing/authority system. Fact is, they knew about this, this was not hidden by google OR Facebook.
Apple decided to release this the DAY after they had a huge privacy flaw in Facetime.
Tesla disabling cars -- tell us how you feel about that!
using illegal drugs -- Wow, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
not defending facebook -- Are ya?
behavior from Apple is truly scary -- Elaborate.
Apple is not law/moral/societal enforcement "police". -- Right, they just wrote the EULA and have the right to deny service.
