I don't think anyone is saying it's OK. Just that removing the app will have 0 effect on the current law or the outcome. They'd just go back to pen/paper like they had to before the app was available, and take longer.

- caymanjim 8y agoNo, it would inconvenience Saudi women, because the men wouldn't bother doing the extra work.
- darkpuma 8y agoWould the Saudis really have created this app if it didn't convenience Saudi men? I doubt that. I don't think the Saudi government is in the business of conveniencing Saudi women, except insofar as that's an incidental byproduct of conveniencing Saudi men.
- brenschluss 8y agoIf removing the app has 0 effect, then having the app has 0 effect also, so might as well remove it, no?
