You're trying to compare Apple taking down an app that violates local laws (which, again, everybody does) with... I don't even know how to characterize your new

  The core of your argument was "They are just following the law", it clearly wasn't "They are following a sensible law"; if you believe the law to be within the ethical bounds of laws that should be followed for the sake of keeping business there just say so but just saying "they are just following the law" is dishonest at best.

    They are following the exact same law literally everyone follows and always has followed, which is to take down apps that violate the local laws. I don't understand why you're taking a particular issue with this. "Apple, in its capacity as an app store owner, shall not publish apps that violate local laws" is not even a remotely problematic stance. If you have an issue with this particular app being taken down, you should be directing your ire at the law that makes it illegal, not at Apple for complying with the law, because taking the app down does no more harm to anybody than the alternative, which is for Apple to take the whole store down and stop doing business in the country.
