#Facebook #Fears #Google #API #Calls
Always have Greenify and root for those troubled apps. Twitter and Facebook both don’t follow my sync settings here, I hate apps like that thinking they are above the rules, I want to place them under.
dont mess with google… fb is useless
I hope Google doesn’t block their API like they did with Microsoft. Still no legit YouTube app for Windows 10.
I haven’t read every single message, so maybe others have made this point.
Every Android/Google service has been replicated in mainland China because they are basically blocked to most users
Mark Zuckerberg has been cosying up to China in the recent past. Maybe he has already seen the writing on the wall. He doesn’t necessarily have to re-invent all of the wheels. FB just needs to localise the Chinese services, and maybe convince a handful of people that their data isn’t being siphoned off to China, assuming that the CCP has any interest in what every second person eats for breakfast.
Google rules!
That’s a very good news.
I wish Android (not Google Play Services, the android OS) had a way to specify your own server for push notifications. If that was possible we would be able to have good battery life by only using one background service for notifications, and not have all notifications go through Google.
A bunch of people in the comments here are saying that what Jayce talked about is good. I hate Facebook just as much as all of you, but Google should be crippling Facebook by competing with them, not blocking them from their platforms.
Well I don’t really understand what this video is about, because Google does charge for API calls.. If it reaches a certain amount.
API Calls and Notifications are two different things. Any application with internet access can have all kinds of “API Calls” for content, Google will never influence that directly.
On the other hand, Android notifications are “intrusive” and could be harmful to your device if they are not secure. To me, it makes perfect sense for Google having a little control about what it is sent throught this service, and it’s obvious they will never overcharge for this, since they want to attract more app developers, not to send them away.
death to Facebook long live neutral INTERNET
Thanks!!
google is simply trying to build the road for their internet of things…
what happened to users choice. notifications are great, if battery dead or dying.
However expensive it might be, FB can just throw the money at the face of Google without a second thought, I’m sure of it.
Facebook is a demon. If google try to kill him, he will equally react
very interesting!
that’s awesome..now no one will work with Google..and Microsoft will get a chance
it means lots of people using android rather than apple ios hahahaha
Good thing I never used facebook for anything else than setting up a fake name account to use id with a third party IM. Seemed fishy to me from the beginning so glad my friends all rather use whats-app groups to communicate. Now if we all could switch to Telegram that be neat, open source client and server also promised to become open source.
You’re wrong.
Yes, he kind of understands what API’s are, but no Facebook’s not at risk at all.
whats your opinion on facebooks test on users done recently where they purposely crashed their app to test costumer loyalties? do you think thats FB way of testing the waters to eventually move away from google play store?
someone needs to start charging Facebook for the giant turd of an app it is

You clearly don’t know that they got contacts about mutual share of services.Do some better research next time buddy, with some actual trusted source.Thanks.
