Part of me is hoping that the reviewer who rejected the app was fresh off the boat from some authoritarian country, and this has nothing to do with a company that is admired by millions of young Americans and accepted or respected by tens of millions more. I just can't fathom the idea of an American being able to formulate the phrase "content that ridicules public figures" without feeling sick and pretending never to have thought of it.
