Is there a website somewhere keeping track of the various App Store takedowns? It'd be interesting to see a nice list of them. Stories about apps being pulled for largely crap reasons seem to come up at a rate of about one a week, if not more frequently. However, although I've seen dozens of them, I don't think I've ever seen a nice list of them. I think it'd be interesting to see how the App Store policies are actually enforced.
- illumin8 16y agoI know it's fashionable to bitch at Apple for any app that gets pulled, but they received a legal notice from an attorney representing the NY Times, so they had no choice but to take action.
- jokermatt999 16y agoFair enough in this case, and an even better reason for such a list. It could also point out cases where the takedowns were legitimate, but were bitched about. The fact that this case was fair (well, fair because legal action was threatened, otherwise I think it'd be somewhat ridiculous), the point still stands that it would be good to have some "case law" on the app store policies. Since the regulation is subjective, it would be useful to see how it's interpretted.
