Apple Working to Add Support for Sideloading and Alternate App Stores in Europe

Yep, looks like Musk wants to sell user data and that will fall into the hands of dictators and organised crime

Twitter is considering forcing users to let the company sell their data and phone numbers to advertisers, in potential breach of Apple rules

Users might be able to opt out if they susbcribe to $8 Twitter Blue – but that would breach Apple rules on data sharing, Platformer reports.

That would be a violation of App Stores terms, and of course a violation of basic human rights to force users to sell their data.

Well if he makes his app side loadable instead of in the App Store he won’t have to worry about those pesky App Store terms. No it’s not forcing anyone because you agree to it when you use the app. I don’t like it and I think it’s rotten but it’s not forcing anyone

Read the article. Users will be forced to hand over data to advertisers, and since anyone can start an advertising campaign no doubt criminals and governments will do that to get users data. They did that on Facebook for years.

Hol up.

If Facebook and Twitter already tried hard to violate users for years this ain’t no fake news. Both companies have paid fines in the past.

This is what I'm looking forward to.
There are very legitimate App types that Apple doesn't allow for "reasons"

Very very excited for this change!

I was expecting so much hate for my comment! I’m glad that so many people agree.

Are they forcing people to download the app and agree to the terms? I’m kind of scared because I hope Elon doesn’t jump out of my closet and make me do this.

Sounds like that already happened to you.

I’m not excited for it but it is what it is. This is not a choice iPhone users are making but governments. I don’t think it’s going to be a disaster but it’s going to have some serious issues. I saw this coming from a mile away because of the way Apple has badly handled the whole situation.

I don’t think it’s all going to be all negative either. There’s going to be some benefits for the more nerdy iPhone users. I kind of wonder exactly how many are using iPhones because I feel most are on android. Maybe this will bring some over and it will be good for Apple

Not yet but I’m scared to open my closet door now. If that actually happened I would be terrified 😂

Good. As if there wasn't already enough reason to leave Twitter.

Desktop computers don’t “sideload” to install apps, and there have always been malware issues with distributed installers and packages. The term sideloading refers to installing an application via proxy methods.

maybe you need to learn a bit about the discussed subject before you copy paste internet links for me here and spam the forum?

Let me explain it is easier so maybe you can understand:

1-Apple is going to allow iOS users to install apps from outside iOS App store.

2-Apple already allows Mac users to install apps from outside Mac app store.

1=2

any risk associated with option 2 also applies to option 1

I can't speak for everybody but personally, I'd use iPhones if it weren't for the unnecessary "security" locks. It fits with the rest of my Apple devices.

 

[SactoGuy18]

just for Europe? COME ON APPLE

I think it will be a worldwide thing. This would solve the issue of Epic Games wanting their own app store and Amazon able to sell digital music and Kindle books using the Amazon app.

Sideloading isn’t a desktop term. Never in the history of computing did someone say “I’m sideloading Microsoft Office on my computer”.

The crooks who who fought to get their malware on iOS started this false argument “Oh you have sideloading on Macs so why can’t we sideload on iOS”

Not laughing at your post, rather the source. BI I take with a dump truck or two of salt.

I don’t. Facebook and Twitter have been slapped and fined for it in the past. Twitter was even caught employing Saudi and Indian spies.

Chrome OS uses "sideloading" as a term. Chrome OS is a desktop computer OS (very limited, but I digress...). It also has ~3% of the worldwide market share.
So yes, "sideloading" *is* a desktop term.
And guess what, I could literally "sideload MS Office on my Chromebook" if I had one.

Ah well at least it will be a bit more like owning a Mac, good news I think. Can't wait for the emulators.

Like people who want to throw MacOS into the iPad, here we go. You want MacOS? Buy a Mac. You want side-loading? Buy an Android device.

Ironically, this reduces choice, in a way. iOS is fine.

What if I want an iPhone and to play GBA games on it?

Pre-Musk.

Hopefully we see little to nothing of that from Twitter going forward.

Then iOS isn’t for you, get an Android device. Choice is there, it hasn’t been eliminated.

Your answer says there is no choice.
