Apple Removes Wikileaks App from iTunes Store
An iPhone/iPad app that let users browse the content on the Wikileaks website and follow the @wikileaks Twitter account has been removed from Apple’s iTunes Store.
Trudy Muller, an Apple spokeswoman, said the company had removed the app “because it violated our developer guidelines.” Ms. Muller added: “Apps must comply with all local laws and may not put an individual or group in harm’s way.”
The $1.99 WikiLeaks App was taken down on Monday after being available for just three days. It is not clear how popular it was. Its developer promised to donate $1 for every download to organizations that “promote the future of online democracy. ” It had received only three reviews, according to the Huffington Post. Two of those reviews were negative.
