Not Safe for App Store: Fotodienst 500px fliegt.

Toronto photo-sharing startup 500px is reporting today that both of its applications, 500px for iOS and its recent acquisition ISO500, have been pulled from the Apple App Store due to concerns about nude photos. […] The company had told Apple yesterday that it could make a change to its apps to address the issue at hand, and this would also automatically take care of the problem […]

However, Apple couldn’t wait for the change, which was expected to take a day, and pulled the apps.

Es sind diese einzelnen (aber gravierenden) Ausrutscher, die das gesamte System, auf peinliche Art und Weise, in den Zweifel zieht. Wer Schalter für App-Store-Zulassungen sowie Sperrungen drücken darf, darf nicht solche Fehler machen (und auch keine schlechten Pokémon-Kopien freigeben).

Update: Matthew Panzarino fängt ein Apple-Statement zu (temporären) Kündigung ein.
