> But it takes a lot of people and time to figure it out for each app on the store. They've already approved these apps. They already have the people to approve these apps. > And when it comes to this kind of stuff Apple doesn't like spending lots of people and time on these kind of things. Incorrect. They've already demonstrated they want to do this. After all, you had to have people find and remove these apps in the first place.

> They've already approved these apps. They already have the people to approve these apps. The truth is Apple approves a ton of stuff that is clearly and directly against clauses of the App Store rules. They seem to exist mostly to let Apple pull your app later and have a pre-defined reason. Enforcement is incredibly inconsistent, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was some pretty racist stuff that had been there before this event; despite hate apps being against policy. > Incorrect. They've already demonstrated they want to do this. After all, you had to have people find and remove these apps in the first place But they don't have to critically examine the game to understand the context, only determine if it contains a confederate flag. Hell, maybe they used a program to dissect app bundles and scan all images to see if they match the flag and probably ban those.

  > The truth is... Yes, I know. That doesn't mean they get a free pass because of it. > But they don't have to critically examine the game... Yes, I know, but once again, that doesn't mean they get a free pass because of it. Listen, you are giving them excuses. Excuses that are, frankly, wrong. They are a company with massive resources. They could have done this the right way. They decided not to. It's as simple as that. They are wrong. They did wrong. End of story.
