People should be responsible for their self and take the punishment or
whatever if they do something wrong. They should not have to have a big
brother to tell us or business what to post. This is not to me about safety
it is about infringing on my Freedom of speech and my freedom of press. JMT

Apps From App Store
A perfectly reasonable intervention on the part of the government.
There are too many irresponsible folks out there who would take the
Apple idea as encouragement for drink-driving.
Sometimes, government intervention is necessary and this is a good
case in point. Remember when AAG pulled the plug on Outspoken? No
screen reader support for Mac OS and no one as far as I remember were
inclined to offer a replacement. it was owing to anti-descrimination
legislation that Apple had no choice but to introduce VoiceOver.
