Politically Charged Apps in the Apple Store

Apple rejects an app that advocates for a single-payer health care system and allows people to connect and contact their Congressmen. Reason – “politically charged”. All fine. Apple’s monopoly and their sole right to decide what is allowable and what isn’t on their private store. But we at least expect consistency [via]. If “politically charged” is a suitable reason, then definitely, Unlikely Pear, an app that provides “conservative talking points” should be rejected too, right? Update: The app is now available in the App store. Except now it has far more publicity than before.

    Funny, since you figure Apple is very liberal… they had an Obama campaign app, why not one advocating his agenda???

      Go figure! Similarly, perhaps there isn’t a liberal media.
