    Paraphrased tweet to fit into the title length limit.

    This is a pretty big tweet (given Tim Cook usually doesn't comment on anything outside of Apple's products and quarterly earnings), seemingly in response to Facebook taking out multiple ads claiming Apple is hurting small businesses by notifying users of how Facebook tracks and identifies users across its platform and the wider web.

    This could turn into something of Apple v. Epic proportions.
