This week at #Time100Summit, @tim_cook won applause by bemoaning extensive screen time, and talking up @apple’s efforts to help people scale back.

Now the @nytimes reveals the truth: Apple is using the halo of such rhetoric to actually crack down on apps that fight addiction. https://t.co/qd7TF5UJDb

— Anand Giridharadas (@AnandWrites) April 27, 2019

Last June, to much fanfare, Apple announced new tools to track and limit screen time.

Then it quietly began purging apps that had fought iPhone addiction for years.

There's a fundamental conflict with Apple's services revenue narrative which requires increased engagement (music, games, iCloud, etc) and seriously tackling phone addiction.

These goals were better aligned when business growth meant selling more phones.https://t.co/v1gC3dvd1w

Not really- Apple is cracking down on apps exfiltrating data and violating AppStore policies. It just happens that this last batch of scamware is disguised as kid iPhone addiction fighting. https://t.co/vGOpdOsj0W
