Free French app app booted by Apple, triggers 1m-strong petition
Found on The Register on Wednesday, 24 April 2013
Almost a million people have signed a petition demanding Apple rethink its decision to pull a popular free-app-finding app from the App Store.
More than 12 million people have already downloaded the software, which offers a daily selection of free apps to download.
France's junior minister for digital economy, Fleur Pellerin, branded Apple’s decision “extremely brutal and unilateral".
Trying to compete with competition by censorship never really worked. I doubt people really confuse AppGratis with the AppStore.
