Just to elaborate a little more: cheering that Apple has now pulled the app is, I think, missing that the whole point of having content gatekeepers is the real problem. Aside from not wanting to encourage homophobic liars, I don't have a real problem with the app being on the platform, what I have the problem with is having an app whose attitudes are clearly linked to hate and potential violence being approved while a whole class of content and apps whose existence seems to be strongly correlated with less violence and a freer society is forbidden.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
