Privacy and safety?
While Apple's action can be appreciated from a privacy and safety perspective,
This has absolutely nothing to do with privacy and safety. It is solely a breech of contract terms, terms to which Facebook and Google agreed to when they signed up for the enterprise development programme..
This is Apple just being consequent and enforcing the contract terms that both companies agreed to.
I am not an Apple user, I don't particularly like the company, but in this situation, revoking their certificates was the only thing that Apple could logically do, and both Facebook and Google knew that before they launched their respective spyware to private individuals who didn't work for Facebook or Google through the enterprise programme - the clue is in the name! If they had made the users employees or possibly contractors, it would probably not have been a problem.
