It only took 2-3 hours for Apple to assess the PR cost of banning the app and decide it's not worth the income increase.

This demonstrates that unless you're big enough to garner large social media outcry, you don't matter and can be trampled over by a corporation easily.

we have the law and court for a reason, and i think the public should have more access to it to demand justice and fair treatment. So that all entities of all sizes have equal access to it.
