Facebook is in the doghouse with Apple for abusing its role in Apples enterprise program to distribute research apps that suck up even more of users data. But on the latest episode of Pivot, NYUs Scott Galloway said thats a sideshow that mostly reflects personal animosity between Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook; the really suspicious thing Facebook is doing, he explained, is its plan to merge the infrastructure of Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger.
You can listen to Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway wherever you get your podcasts including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Pocket Casts and Overcast.
Scott Galloway: And this is Scott Galloway coming to you from the polar vortex of Delray Beach, Florida, where it is 65 degrees.
It wasnt a bug, it was a mistake in the FaceTime, which caused a lot of people to listen in, so, privacy snafu, right?
So the first one was the Apple bug where, on Facebook, you got to listen to the conversation before people actually answered the phone.
Theres nothing here except two people who hate each other, and theyre going after each other and all being indignant.
One hundred percent, and also the guys at Whatsapp, the guys who knew what was going on were disturbed by this and yet nobodys talking about it.
But have you seen, you have two teenage sons, have you seen Honey Badger Just Dont Care, that video about Honey Badgers?
