Apple wont let Facebook tell users about 30-percent Apple tax on events

Apple nixed a message in the Facebook app for iOS warning users that Apple would take 30 percent of event payments, Facebook says.

It allows small businesses to host virtual cooking classes, workout sessions, happy hours, and other events and charge people to participate.
