Yes you can go to your browser, but it involves more steps
Why do you have any app, it makes it easier to get to the program
Apple has some app’s that are not optional
They are censoring by removing the app


Ah, so being marginally less convenient is censorship now? What then is it when I have to leave my house and actually go to a Public Library? How much censorship is that?


We're obviously quite past the point of rationality here. One of the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory is its resistance to any other explanation.

I have never received a response from Drudge re why their app is not in the store. Still wondering why.


This might be interesting to some. I have two Drudge Report apps on my iPhone 6. One has a white background with a big "D" on it. When I open it it has "AMAZON.COM" on top. The other app also has a white background and the words "DRUDGE" over the word "REPORT". That does not show amazon and has the various stores in three columns.

Is your point that Apple is not censoring both sites becase they still graciously allow me to navigate to a web page? I think that is a pretty foolish position if it is. I can still get the garbage CNN puts out through their app and MSNBC...the bastion of accurate news that they are...turns out their app is just fine. It seems to be only the conservative news sources that need to be removed.

I did not make a "freedom of speech" arguement. No one is arguing a constitutional violation...except you. My statement was very "free market." I simply stated that this would be my last iPhone as a result. As to your claim that Breitbart and Drudge pulled their own apps....misinformed or foolish. Take you pick. There are dozens of news articles about Apple pulling Breitbart's app and the Drudge purge is too new.


Finally, of course apple is not preventing Drudge from doing business. Once again you are arguing against a point no one made.

This thread is now two months old, and for two months not a word from Drudge. If they were being "censored" do you think they'd be quiet about it? Is that their form? The obvious answer here is that they are not being censored because - months later - they haven't said a peep. All that happens is every now and then another one comes along making threats to never buy another Apple product. So, don't.

Millions enjoy the Drudge Report and it is no longer available on the App Store. One would think that Drudge would publicly protest if they were censored, and to my knowledge that has not happened. I do not know why this app was removed, but I check daily to see if anyone has found the true reason for its unavailability. Drudge is not responsive. I believe this forum {with all its brilliant people} is the best place to solve this mystery.

Spoken like a true Apple employee

This is a user-to-user support forum. Apple Employees are designated by either a black apple avatar (community specialists) or a purple apple avatar (Hosts). The community specialists generally only reply if a post has gone unanswered for more than 12 hours or so. The Hosts rarely post in the forums these days.


Now, I will say, the last time I was unemployed, I did apply to Apple for a retail job but didn't get it. I'm a grants administrator for a small university.
