With such a clear prior case, it feels like tumblr tried to play it safer than necessary for some reason (the app is 17+ anyway)
- chipotle_coyote 13y agoThat was my take, too. While it's certainly true that Apple can be inconsistent and even weirdly capricious, this wouldn't be the first time a company has preemptively "censored" themselves on the App Store. While it's true that a Tumblr app is a bit different from, say, a web browser, it's not really true that Tumblr has a high level of control over the content on their own service -- no more than a service like Twitter or even Facebook does.
