- rosndo 5y agoWhy is it surprising?
- depaya 5y agoMight as well wait for the inevitably shady/illegal things to take place so it can be banned with reason.
- shadowgovt 5y agoIf the lack of outright a-priori cancellation of this app is surprising, that may be an opportunity for one to check one's premises underpinning assumptions.
- MisterSandman 5y agoWhy would Apple do that...? Their app store guidelines suck but they've never outright banned apps just on the basis of ideology.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y agoGrindr in China, Fortnite, tons of things depicting Pepe the Frog,
- whywhywhywhy 5y agoBanning it straight away or not allowing them on at all gives them more power, you just have to wait for them to skirt a rule and you can blame them for their own banning. I presume they've made the same mistake as that other one did, building on centralized infrastructure so they'll probably end up getting banned from AWS too.
- jmyeet 5y agoWhy would Apple do that? First, there's unlikely to be a big market for this (think Parler) so why would Apple involve itself on something that probably won't matter? Second, if there are any problems (eg security) or ToS/policy violations, Apple can't just assume those will happen. it has to be reactive. There is literally zero upside in taking preemptive action here.
