It's not necessary nor useful to create a false dichotomy. The safety of the AppStore may be a reason to have a strict review policy, but it should not become an excuse to abuse of that policy. The price tag of safety is certainly some amount of freedom, but it's worrisome that people are learning to accept this without also distinguishing when this relationship is being usurped for other means.
If something simply doesn’t exist, how reasonable is it to assume that it could exist? How am I supposed to differentiate the statement that something could exist from fairytales?
