Typical. And you still have to be 17+ to buy, unlike the Android version, or how it is with other media in general.
And apple is not the "forward thinking" company they appear to be at all. If anything, they've regressed from their roots since Steve's return. I find this so apropos in describing the current American sentiment today:

Apple has never been known to be forward thinking. Since the introduction of their Apple II machines, they've always been about proprietary control. Apple's systems are not open and will never be. As for the topic, not surprising by anyone who knows how this business operates. The only reason the app isn't blocked on the iPad is the attention the move would draw from the US government for anti-trust violations, given the iPad isn't a (mobile) phone, but more a personal computer. |

Apple really is treading a very thin line here with its censorship. I know this isn't the first time and most likely wont be the last but there is a huge inconsistency with what they do specifically with this comic app. There are many manga apps out there (some well over a year) that just blatantly steal work from the creator without consent from the creators at all. Yet this one app gets taken down.
If apple is going to censor things they have to be transparent and obvious about what they do. This is a huge battle that honestly I don't think they should even be bothering with. There are so many flaws and inconsistent reasoning of why anything in the app store will get censored or pulled. |
