Zuckerberg responds to Apple’s privacy policies: “We need to inflict pain”
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees close to him, "we need to inflict pain" on Apple for comments by Apple CEO Tim Cook that Zuckerberg described as "extremely glib."

This was one of the comments that has led Zuckerberg to see Apple as an opponent.
