    It is arbitrary. There is no court. There is no jury. There is no impartial third party to appeal to. Their terms of service are so vague that they could give any bs reason to take down anything they want. And they have done this to take down perfectly reasonable apps that are just critical of apple in the past.

      And Google bans any app that allows Youtube to play while the screen is off.

      Platforms owners are allowed to decide what they allow on their own platforms.

      It is the same as a physical store removing certain products from their shelves. Nobody should force them to add any they do not want on there.

      Don’t like it? Start your own platform.

      Yeah. That’s private enterprise. Of course there is no judge or jury. It is arbitrary because it’s business and business is built on people’s feelings.
