The Apple Covid Party App: One Minor and Probably Irrelevant Question
December 31, 2020
I am not into Apple or any other Sillycon Valley outfit. I am aware of the yip yap about curation policies, editorial control, and delivering a good experience. Yadda yadda or as the overtalkers on Pivot say, “yoga babble.”
I read “Apple Pulls App That Promoted Secret Parties During Ongoing Pandemic.” The write explains that Apple removed the app from the lucrative App Store.
But there is one minor and probably irrelevant question which arises:
With all the effort Apple puts into curation, how did the app make it to the App Store?
My hunch is that talk, handwaving, and posturing are more important than evaluating, checking, and considering apps. But that’s just a hunch. Reality is probably different.
