[Lets Blurt] ios test app is rejected in the review

Require that users agree to terms (EULA) and these terms must make it clear that there is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users

I guess you could implement this, seems not too much work. If legal is needed foundation could kick in some.

A method for filtering objectionable content

Mr. Cook, what is objectionable? Who shall judge that on an ongoing basis?

A mechanism for users to flag objectionable content

One of the core concepts of Blurt is that this is not possible. It is what keeps our community so positive and psychologically well. We love our users too much for this.

PS: Seriously I don't know what to do with this request.

A mechanism for users to block abusive users

We could implement blocks at the ios app level, but I wouldn't feel super about it. But @etianclub is a private individual and free to do as he pleases, no matter how @jacobgadikian feels.

The developer must act on objectionable content reports within 24 hours by removing the content and ejecting the user who provided the offending content

What is objectionable, and who is the judge of that?

What if the developer is traveling?

(@etianclub I am sorry, I know some of my comments here do not help you)

Specifically, what are the main features of your app?

Let's Blurt allows users to view and post content on the Blurt blockchain.

Who is the target audience?

We wish to compete with FB, Twitter, and Medium.

How do users earn Blurt?

Hate to bring bad news to a worthy project, but...

Apple confirmed that it has suspended the conservative social media app Parler from the App Store, shortly after Google banned it from Google Play.

Parler has not upheld its commitment to moderate and remove harmful or dangerous content encouraging violence and illegal activity, and is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

from https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/09/apple-suspend-parler-from-app-store/

I have always disliked so-called apps for this reason: they are not just software, but software+licence+intrusion (the Apple model of digital gadgetism).

I don't know what the solution is. Why can't phones use their browser to engage with Blurt?
That might be a way forward - to make website operations phone-compatible.

Also, if phones can become nodes, then can those phones have CLI access wrapped in a UI?
Without a Goegle or Appaul license?

Sorry, that was supposed to be a direct comment to @etainclub.
There is a broader and deeper question about mitigating the manifest digital tyranny. Maybe a small brainstorming group on discord or telegram?

Yep, I've been following the current terrible situation. I have not thought about my app in that sense. I am totally against the big tech's tyranny. But browser itself on mobile is an app which is made by big tech. Real sovereign solution is required. I don't know what it will be, either.

Thanks. I’ve never seen this kind of review for a test app. I guess the reviewer knows nothing about blockchain based social media.

@soss is @etainclub, the same person.
