So are you guys for or against censorship from Apple? I can't justify *not* making a book available to people. And seriously "swach sticker?"

Apple remove now!

And yet, no Google Voice app.

MVB nails it. They allow this app, yet another book app with the word iPhone in it is not allowed. A Google Voice app is not allowed. These are the kind of things that make me think Apple is messed up.

Maxamad, I totally agree an inconsistent censorship policy is bad. Any censorship policy is bad. Banning books -- even those nobody agrees with is bad. That's the irony here: http://wiki.answers.com/Q...

NO way! can we boycott that app?! damn Apples is messed up!!
- Susan Beebe
Susanbeebe, absolutely! Don't buy it, don't publicize it (this thread probably sold more copies than would've otherwise been sold). Don't make it sound like super-powerful forbidden knowledge that will give someone power that everyone else should fear because the reader will magically transform into the next Hitler and kill us all. Most importantly, let's not encourage organizations to hide information from us that some of us disagree with.
