In the case of Facebook, there's no judgement or moral side to take. They broke the rules Apple set when allowing Facebook to be in the App Store and use internal enterprise certificates. Objectively, Apple's behavior was fair.

Did they? Please think of this: is there a minimum age for internships?
Are you suggesting there was a child labor law violation as well as a breach of contract?
I'm wondering if either Apple is in the wrong, or FB needs a better legal team. By FB legal team I mean those people that should point out when things are not legal.
> either Apple is in the wrong, or FB needs a better legal team

That's your only two options? Sounds like you've already made your decision.

The legal team at FB, at least back when I was there, was meant to prevent us from doing illegal things. So, this means that either Apple is wrong, or FB is wrong - as in their legal team is wrong, so they need a better one
So you've ruled out the possibility that Zuck was advised this might be a contract violation and just said fuck it, we think we'll get away with it?
