I'm concerned about the precedent of the government getting involved in app censorship on ideological grounds.

Today TT, tomorrow whatever the Party or our Dear Leader doesn't find complimentary?

if we didn’t put up with centralized stores on mobile this wouldn’t be a practical possibility for the government to ban things. now for us to get an app to our users we have to be sure the dear leader apple/google AND dear leader government both approve.
