So, any system with a bunch of rules, like Apple Application process if fascism? Apple has these rules, they pointed it out to the developer, and let him resubmit his application. Only a complete moron would compare this to fascism and what happened in Italy. I guess it is only a certain law stopping you from comparing them to another figure.

No a system where the local police/magistrate is allowed to interpret the rules however they wish and you aren't allowed to question them, ask for an explanation, appeal to a higher authority or have any sort of representation is facism.

I wouldn't expect the average application reviewer to know what "bitwise" means. If he responded explaining it and they still didn't allow it that would be worthy of a rant.

You are most certainly allowed to question the policies. Armed thugs didn't show up at this gentleman's house and beat him for this blog post. Lack of representation alone is not fascism. They also gave him an explanation which is completely contradictory with your statement justifying your assertion this would classify as fascism. Even if they hadn't given him one it still wouldn't make it fascism.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure after all that complaining he still went ahead, removed the keyword and submitted the app. I'd say if you're going to bow down to Apple then you have no right complaining.

People only complain when they want to keep using the product/service in question and are unwilling to take things to an extreme conclusion. E.g. When people have a bad experience at the theatre, the only ones who complain at the service desk are those who will return regardless. The people who've had enough just quietly walk out and never return.
