Apple's Assault on Standards - Infrequently Noted

Apple vs. Facebook is Kayfabe - Infrequently Noted
Apple vs. Facebook is, and always was, kayfabe. In reality, Apple is Facebook's chauffeur; holding Zuck's coat while Facebook wantonly surveils iPhones owners. How can we be sure? Because Apple continues to allow wide-scale abuse of In-App Browsers.
