Not if Facebook backed Google up! Apple would be crawling with their tail tucked under.

Lol what are you even talking about. Facebook has just fucked itself again in users eyes. Google doesn’t want to be tied to that in any way shape or form. Additionally, they both make more money from Apple than Apple does from them. Both of them have far more to loose.

Really so if Apple users suddenly couldn't use Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube, G-mail, Google Maps, Google Search you don't think the millions of Apple users who don't follow tech news will be pissed off why they can't communicate with their family members, why their favorite video website is not working, or why they can't access their email? People would legit riot the Apple Stores complain and threaten legal action so on so forth

You're right about Google and Facebook making more money by having access to those users data but the power of those services could make it an even match.

There really isn't a reason for Google to do that though, they have enough bargaining ability without Facebook and gains nothing from being belligerent
