Apple is a company, so is not required to provide equal time/exposure. Just trying to spread inflammatory FUD again.

Republican candidate accuses Apple of App Store bias laugh

It does seem Apple is blocking some political points of view and not others, he has a point.

I wonder whether the App Store would block an app that celebrates Mr. David's accomplishments rather than defaming Mr. Waxman (calling Mr. Waxman a "Soviet-style regulator" is defamation in the same way as calling Mr. David a Nazi goon would be).

About iSlam Mohammed--I hear fear behind that decision. Alas.

And they have a legal right to do that. The tea bagger whines.

He would have more of a point if the store had approved other campaign apps of opposing parties (I have no idea if they have or not) -- if they just blanket-reject all campaign ads, that would sound pretty fair to me ...

And Yoyo's point is interesting as well: I wonder if the app would have been approved if hadn't been an attack ad but one only espousing the virtues of the candidate ...

And, of course, Apple isn't nearly a free-speech democracy ;-)

My understanding is that Apple really likes to stay out of the Political Landscape . I mean by that Apple nevers makes political comments for as long as I had Macs .

Now if Apple allows political apps - then they are giving an endorsement or sorts . Best to either Ban them all or Allow them all , there is no middle ground .
