Apple disallowed almost anything related to Covid, especially vaccines or human origins of the virus.

We had to build a list of over 20 terms to not show results for, only on Apple devices.
Apple also later rejected us because users included Pepe images in videos. pic.twitter.com/euw1ppkoKg
Apple required LBRY (Odysee) iOS app to prohibit user-submitted content with Pepe the Frog in order to be approved for the App Store.

Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.

Apple's "review" process is notoriously inconsistent. This poor clown ran into some upjumped San Franciscoid who invented a bunch of new rules nobody else has to follow. Of course, Apple management isn't going to go intervene on behalf of a blockchain scam for morons.

This is also why so many apps include code to change the behavior if it's being run from an apple IP (Uber did this for a while to hide their phone ID snooping)

Apple takes serious money from Google to keep them as the default search engine in their browser, right? How is this not some sort of anti-trust violation?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
: Sorry, sir, you can't ask people to compete by price on becoming the default search engine for your browser.
: Okay, we'll just pick Google anyway.
: Thank you for not violating antitrust law.

Google pays Apple money (between 8 and 12 billion per year according to the nyt), Apple keeps competitors to google services out of its walled garden possibly so customers funnel instead into google affiliated services. Am I missing something here?

You can change the default search engine in safari. If apple forced users to only use google's search engine, then you'd have a good point.

Back in the day Microsoft didn't force anyone to use Word, Office, or Internet Explorer either but didn't keep them out of antitrust troubles.

Thought you were being sarcastic, since you liked how antitrust ruled about something or 'nother on Internet Explorer with Gateway(?) computers. Also, a dumb ruling.

My lived experience(using a three yr old android to type this message) is that youre wrong. Also wasnt it Apple that was arbitraily slowing old phones down, bc they make shit batteries? Even got sued over it? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61823512

iphones and blakcbarries throttle back when the battery ages to maintain stability
perhaps if androids did this, they wouldn't shut down suddenly
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Android: (a)lets you selectively undercharge ypur battery to prevent overcharging and extend longevity, and (b) doesnt actively work to prevent you from being able to work on your own shit and replace the battery when it does die. Not to mention they just hate the right of the consumer to repair their own shit in general. Also usb-c is happening, deal with it

The Portugese soccer team has a guy named Pepe on it and it was so upsetting and disturbing, it left me shaking. Not sure why there isn't a TW on this content.
