Apple’s Crackdown On Gambling Apps Has Wider Casualties

Developers who’ve been affected received a message from Apple saying it was removing gambling-related apps to “reduce fraudulent activity … and comply with government requests to address illegal online gambling activity.” Here’s the full message:

Some developers have expressed their frustration on social media as their non-gambling apps were removed by Apple under the new rules.

Some of the apps have since been restored, but it’s concerning how quickly Apple can decide to remove an app seemingly without reason.
