hipsterlibertarian: Apple keeps rejecting an app which maps US drone strikes based on news reports and sends “users a pop-up notice whenever a flying robots kills someone in one of America’s many undeclared wars.” Apple says the app is “not useful.” Right, and all the apps it does allow, like Angry Birds, are sooooooo useful. The iPhone makers have objected on the grounds that the content is “objectionable and crude” as well, which makes no sense, because it’s just plotting news reports on a map. Also this is the platform which hosts the Pimple Popper app.
