I don't yet see any discussion here on the effective difference between the assumed conclusion of this news, so I'll add this: How do you expect the difference between Google and Facebook's internal ecosystems, and even their competitive stance (or lack thereof) with Apple, would affect the decision to revoke the enterprise certs? Hypothetically, if Apple proceeded to revoke Google's enterprise certs on the same basis, wouldn't it have significantly less effect on Google's day-to-day operations? Certainly there large teams of iOS developers working on iOS apps, but I would expect (with no basis but idle speculation) that most other Google employees outside those teams are on Android and it would simply cause issues with Google's ability to develop apps on a competing platform. If this is correct, then couldn't this act be interpreted as more of an anti-competitive move? I'm curious others' thoughts on this aspect of the recent sequence of news.
