If the issue were his name, then it wouldn’t have made it on the App Store in the first place.

Apple also removes social media apps that don’t meet their standards for moderation, so that’s already a thing. For example:

Note that Apple didn’t remove “Truth Social” (though Google did) so this isn’t a political issue (it may be for Google, but I doubt it).

Check out Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines. Personally, I approve of Apple protecting its users from scams and other dangerous content. There are a ton of things I’d love for them to be more open about allowing, but I’m fine with them banning apps like this one.

Is your issue that you don’t like Apple’s requirements? If so, this app is an excellent point in their favor in most people’s eyes.

Is your issue that you think Apple’s requirements are discriminatory in some way? If so, an app by a cis het white misogynist is probably not a great example of that.

Do you think their standards were applied unfairly? If so, I find it hard to believe that you even read their guidelines.

Honestly, I get the impression that you’re just a Tate fanboy and that you’re mad that Apple pulled his app.

scam (which is not the case)

I’m guessing you haven’t visited the website, because it screams “Scam!”

no alternative way to install apps on iOS

Apple users can install PWAs.

cis het

I stop reading after that since those are made up words.

My two cents is that censorship is bad. Not many on lemmy get it since they see censorship as a weapon to use against their opponents. However censorship usually always gets out of control over time and that is why I oppose it.

Android is the way to go since Android is censorship resistant to app store bannings by allowing APK sideloads and alternative app stores to Google Play.

Go fanboy somewhere else.

How did you manage to read any words before those?

Ahh, so you're a complete fucking moron then. Checks out since you're defending Andrew "I moved to Romania so I wouldn't be charged with rape" Tate.
