So much for supporting anonymous free speech. You can't really blame Apple but it would have been nice to see them put up some sort of fight. :(

Following a recent ruling that Apple would have ten days to remove the anonymous social app Secret from its Brazilian App Store, Apple has complied with the order. The justification for the removal, according to a source close to the situation, can be found in section 22.1 of the App Store Guidelines.

It's always surprising to see the extent to which America stands alone in the Constitutional freedoms she bestows on all her citizens. It's good for younger people to see this kind of thing, though, as some of them seem to think it's "the same" everywhere with the exception of geography. Would that it was...! But outside of the US, those kinds of freedoms are few and far between, even today, amazingly enough. It's remarkable the extent to which some governments still fear free speech. I imagine the Internet has them panicked.

It is the same everywhere. The constitution is a joke. Lawmakers and courts regularly disregard it. The patriot act alone violates nearly the entire bill of rights.
