So, I assume Apple will now block access to the NY Times, Washington Post and other newspapers that publish the documents?

I'm sure glad I waited to purchase an iPad. Apple proves it's just as rotten at its core as most corporations.

Apple gets it's panties in a bunch and goes pro-active because a Wikileaks app violates their developer guidelines. But when shown that many apps violate their guidelines by spying on users "Apple declines to discuss how it interprets or enforces the policy."

or just search "Your Apps Are Watching You"
You got it right karlof1.

Dear Apple:

I had no idea that FREEDOM of the PRESS violated local laws. Oh right, it's ok to violate international law by dumping crap in other countries and paying wages to a slave work force, but OMG!

You are starting to be as sucky as Microsoft, but really Apple, you make me throw APP!

Boycott Apple... and all the rest of those Corporations that are strangling free speech!

"Appleleaks" needs to be shut down...

A WSJ Investigation Finds That iPhone Apps Are Breaching The Privacy Of Smartphone Users:

"iPhone maker Apple Inc. says it reviews each app before offering it to users. Both Apple [and Google] say they protect users by requiring apps to obtain permission before revealing certain kinds of information, such as location.

…An examination of 101 popular smartphone apps - games and other software applications for iPhone [and Android phones] - showed that 56 transmitted the phone's unique device ID to other companies without users' awareness or consent.

...Among the apps tested, the iPhone apps transmitted more data than the apps on phones using Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Because of the test's size, it's not known if the pattern holds among the hundreds of thousands of apps available.

Apps sharing the most information included TextPlus 4, a popular iPhone app for text messaging. It sent the phone's unique ID number to eight ad companies and the phone's zip code, along with the user's age and gender, to two of them."

Is the recent decision by the FCC to allow ATT and other corporations to set up a tier system on the wireless internet yet another example of the secret government attacking the free flow of information? I'm sure it drives the criminals in Langley or where ever they work crazy that there is no publisher to intimidate or infiltrate on the internet.

They are accustomed to being able to control newspapers and television networks and stations through their publisher's offices. Wikileaks is able to operate independently and still reach a global audience. You can be sure billions of dollars is being spent by the invisible government to try and reign the free flow of information before the secret government's activities are revealed to such an extent that unrest develops and they are brought to justice.

I recently read a book, "Brothers" by David Talbot that details the conflicts between the Kennedy brothers and Allen Dulles and the CIA that began immediately upon John Kennedy's inauguration. When you review the narrative of the time in detail in the words of the people who lived it, as that important book does, it's pretty clear that it was those conflicts that led up to the terrible events on November 22, 1963 and June 6, 1968. Talbot's book is readily available on Amazon. It was a New York Times bestseller when published in 2007. Talbot was a young personal assistant to Bobby Kennedy during his fateful 1968 run for the Presidency.

I would like to see the cables between Dick Cheney's office and the Massoud over the months before 9/11/2001. I wish someone would release some high level secret documents such as those to someone with internet distribution capability like Julian Assange.
