Good decision. Personally, I don't think 9to5Mac's claims bordered on libel, and are similar to the initial claim he made about AllClear at http://www.marco.org

Good decision. Personally, I don't think 9to5Mac's claims bordered on libel, and are similar to the initial claim he made about AllClear at http://www.marco.org/2012/09/04/fbi-udid-leak http://www.marco.org/2012/09/04/fbi-udid-leak about the UDID leak before it was retracted: "The popular and free AllClear ID app, related to NCFTA, is a likely culprit, especially given the filename."
Either way, to restrict your users from accessing certain websites using your app because you have a personal issue with the proprietors of those websites is taking your anger out on everyone, which would appear unjustified. Otherwise he would probably also want to block other websites that don't like him.
At least he was open about the fact that he overreacted. When someone makes a mistake, what's needed is an apology, and this was appropriate.
- Permit 14y agoYeah, it struck me as bizarre that he would be so taken aback when someone suggested he was responsible for the leak, but then he made identical baseless suggestions...
