OK, but it's not like they allowed a truly dangerous app to slip through, like one that charges for a service without giving Apple a cut.

Or free apps that are supposedly too similar to some other apps that they can't name and that doesn't seem to exist (my personal story).

Whoever posted/titled this has a bone to pick with Apple specifically, apparently, because the actual article is just about "App Stores" (i.e. both Apple & Google).

>"Blacklisted foreign companies persist in app stores [...]"

>"Watchdog finds firms and organizations in Apple and Google stores [...]"

>"[...] remained available in app stores maintained by Apple and Google [...]"

Wonder why the submitter of this article titled it "Apple Faces Scrutiny [...]"...?

(Kind of funny that 7777777phil, the submitter, was just complaining about a clickbait title yesterday! And then they submit this with an editorialized title.)

As they say, Apple is rarely the first to do something but boy do they do it right

My bad, I was going to link to a MacRumours [1] article, where this title comes from and then while doing so saw the original WP source that I linked to. No further intention behind it.
