"The App Store is now called Apple Stores, a touchphone that sells everything (provided by our third party resellers). If you dont like our stores go shop elsewhere.

I wonder if there is a legal case here, by apple forcefully escalating the business relationship from neutral/orthogonal transactions to one where facebook is forced to be a partner of apple. (And monopoly issues arising from the fact that Apple now has a business interest in increasing facebook's ad sales)

This is the real downside here. Apple is incentivized to want people to use Facebook boosts and only takes 30% of there revenue away -- so 70% goes toward reinforcing this awful surveillance system.
