People are still complaining about section 8 - the remote kill switch? I remember only one instance of an app remotely killed, and that was malware.

Even apps that enabled tethering, emulating, or are otherwise against the rules but make it through review have been simply pulled for sale, never terminated using this capability. I think Apple has proved they're using this responsibly after 6 years.



i dont really care that they've been using it responsibly so far - there isn't a guarantee that abuse won't happen.
