I took a quick look at the app (android one is still live) and it’s quite clear it will be abused for piracy. You can just stream any file straight from your device to the whole world, like twitch but without the faces. Apple probably gathered enough evidence prior to removal.
EDIT: It seems like Lemmy assumes I said this from user/moral perspective. I was talking about lawsuit and whether it would succeed.
EDIat2: Another thing I noticed - it has porn rooms and everyone’s google full handles (emails) and first name/surname is visible, with face image showing who’s watching the porn. It mostly seems to be guys from Pakistan and other countries with controversial laws, but essentially this is a huge privacy risk with serious potential for blackmailing operations.

That’s not for Apple to determine. So many things can be used for piracy. That’s clearly the user’s responsibility. They role as stewards of the App Store is that the app does what it is supposed to do and not other nefarious things. What’s next, preventing torrent clients from running on the Apple platform, because some people use torrents to get their stolen porn?
Apple, YOU ARE NOT MY SUPERVISOR.

You’re right, it’s not for apple, you, or the app developer to determine that - it will be the lawyers and judge. I sometimes feels like people speak here while being detached from the reality/living in their own little fediverse bubble.
Besides, speaking of torrents: https://www.theverge.com/news/767344/apple-removes-itorrent-altstore-pal-ios-marketplace

If you read the article, it wasn’t because of torrents, but sanctions on Russians.

Did Apple remove Grok? A quick web search suggests they did not…

How would you use grok to do this? If grok doesn’t start streaming sport events, I don’t think the lawyers are going to care

I am referring to the use and marketing of Grok for making nude deepfakes and CSAM.
Further in this thread you claim that people are allegedly detached from reality. The reality of the matter is that Apple’s app store policy is not consistent and there are special rules for certain entities.
Surely CSAM generation and involuntary nude deepfakes are a bigger deal than piracy, I think an average person on the street (in any country, doesn’t have to be the US) would agree with me.
I also don’t see where judges come into play? Has Rave been sued in court?
