BuzzFeed obtained a copy of a letter sent from Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell to Spotify general counsel Horacio Guiterrez in response to Spotify's criticism of Apple's in-app subscription policies. Sewell writes "There us nothing in Apple’s conduct that 'amounts to a violation of applicable antitrust laws." He also accuses Spotify of wanting special treatment and says, "we firmly adhere to the principle of treating all developers fairly and equitable." Sewell describes that Spotify’s app replaced in-app purchases with a push to sign up on Spotify’s website. On June 10 Spotify submitted another version which asked customers to submit an email address to unlock premium features. Sewell says that was a violation meant to circumvent Apple’s guidelines. ReCode also has the text of the letter.
Facebook's David Marcus posted Thursday about updates for Messenger's chatbot platform. Quick replies will show at the bottom of chat with pre-populated text options the bot will recognize. Developers can include a persistent menu for frequently used functions. Users can now rate bots and provide feedback to developers. And user's can link their accounts to a company's chatbot to allow for "a deeper and more personal experience". Finally bots can now send audio, video, "files", and GIFs, which Facebook is somehow assuming won't be immediately annoying.

Reuters passes along reports from Brazil's G1 news service that a judge in Brazil's southern Paraná state froze Facebook bank account holdings of 19.5 million reais ($6.07 million) after its messaging company WhatsApp failed to turn over messages relating to an ongoing cocaine smuggling case. A Brazilian judge shut down WhatsApp for 24 hours in a similar case earlier this year though the shutdown was overturned after 24 hours. WhatsApp maintains it does not store messages and cannot read any messages on the system because they are encrypted.
Louis Rossman owns an electronic repair shop in Manhattan and hosts videos on repair. Apple forbids official parts or device blueprints from being used without authorization. A New York bill called the Fair Repair Act would require hardware manufacturers to make instructions and parts available to the public. Apple has been lobbying against the bill. Thursday Rossman posted a video saying that "someone with a lot of money" will be making his life difficult. He also hints that people should download his videos vaguely describing how "some channels" get taken down. He mentions small repair shops being raised for repairing Apple products without authorization. He also talks about having to face something tomorrow but he can't discuss it and people should know if his channel and shop are gone tomorrow it's not because he didn't care.

A year or two back you were fascinated by the anti-shark technology on the trans-pacific cable, and wondered why Google would go through the trouble of installing the connection to Japan. The answer came on a Japanese language podcast to listened to at the time.

Hey DTNS team,
In DTNS 2792 Tom & Scott talked about Zuckerberg's laptop camera, but I never hear of the same action for tablets or phones. Is the danger only computers (and Xbox Connect) or do we need more tape? Does Darren have all of his covered?

Thanks,

I have been beta-testing Amazon's Inspire platform as a part of the federal Go Open campaign. My one reason for choosing the platform was the start-rating system. As far as I know, the platform has been thoroughly vetted and Amazon has made a commitment to freely support the project going forward.
