    Ridiculous personalisation. If Meta don't want to use Apple AI they can decide not to. If Apple says they must, then it becomes a T&C issue. It's not he says, she says.

    This article is really hard to read (AI or just roundabout writing?) and honestly doesn’t seem like the title fits.

      It's generally worth ignoring articles where the title needlessly uses a personal reference (here, "Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook" instead of just "Facebook") to get more clicks. Same with scare quotes, and a number of outrage-inducing verbs.

        Agreed. That’s a good rule.

      > Now Meta appears to be blocking certain Apple Intelligence features, such as Writing Tools and custom emoji creator Genmoji, from all its social media apps, though according to AppleInsider, the former can be accessed when using a web browser. This raises some questions regarding why Meta would do this, as it seemingly compromises the experience of using many of its apps

      > “The most obvious point to consider is that Meta is also heavily investing in AI, and can be considered a rival to Apple in that sector,” Tom’s Guide notes. “A conspiratorially-minded person might assume that Meta is simply trying to push people towards using its own Meta AI, and not rely on a rival system.”

      The actual meat of the article
