#2Linux used to have this rule of "don't break user space".
Apple seems to have a rule of "piss off users constantly"

#5Update: It was indefensible, and Apple has already reversed course. It's a shame it sometimes takes twitter outcry for the right thing to happen, but at least the right thing happened.
This seem indefensible at first blush. The app has been available as-is for years, so if the explanation given him is correct, it's a really bad look for Apple.

#7This demonstrates the amazing power of social media.
It only took 2-3 hours for one of the largest, most powerful corporations, to reverse their decision.

Imagine how many small time developers with just a couple hundred downloads have had their apps destroyed by apple, who couldn't call upon the twitter ion cannon to have someone important at apple see if the removal was actually warranted.

#10I've heard about the app when it started just for parking tickets. I didn't know it expanded to other legal issues including small claims court filings, asylum, visas, green cards, and housing for homeless. Amazing.
