What does this really mean?
Apparently the app stayed for 3 days before it got wiped out.
Is Apple joining in with pressure from FBI or the US government along with Amazon, Paypal et al?

Of theres there's an explanation from Apples side to the New York time which I put as an additional news link.

I'm surprised it wasn't a link found here on ATS. If there is, please remove this one.
