You aren't wrong, but as far as I'm aware, the majority of content on the Instagram app is accessible via an instagram.com URL. That's what I mean by glorified browser. If apple is "banning" that app because of the content but that content is still available on the device via apple's own Safari, did they really ban anything?

The question is "when legally is apple responsible for UGC on instagram's servers?" That's the real question. Otherwise this would be moral grandstanding by Apple.
I'm pretty sure if anyone tried to sue Apple for "distributing objectionable content" they'd run to "we aren't responsible for what's on Instagram's servers." How responsible SHOULD Apple be for data hosted on instagram's servers?
