A pretty standard laundry list of no-go items and then...
> * collection of charitable donations;
!! This seems really different from all the other prohibitions. What's the idea behind that?
- Eric_WVGG 10y agoI imagine all the legal regulations surrounding charitable donations and tax breaks. If someone was fraudulently gathering money under the guise of charity, it would turn into a huge headache for them, even worse than normal fraud. That's pure speculation on my part. Given that Tim Cook is personally very pro-charity (he put a matching contributions policy in place after assuming the CEO role), it seems likely that this will loosen up once Apple can put some certification policies in place.
- cptskippy 10y ago> I imagine all the legal regulations surrounding charitable donations and tax breaks. There aren't. You can collect donations on behalf of an organization just about anyway you please. Many of them have Apps for that. It's super fun on iOS because you have to kick out to Safari to complete donations so you don't have to pay the Apple tax. Not that I would know about any of that...
