Apple Continues to Host JW Library App Despite Hate Speech Violations Allegation

Experiment talking to apple about JW app

I was curious what would happen if I did a web chat and talked to Apple about the JW IOS app. So it went like this:

• Hello. I would like to report an offensive app I found today in the IOS store

• 1:17 PM It links to literature by the organizations web site that is anti gay. . So the organizations app is a portal to their many books.

• I understand and will be happy to assist with this issue.

• I am here to help.

• You said you want to report an offensive App. What App is it please?

• https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/jw-library/id672417831?ls=1&mt=8

• I am sorry, here at work I cannot click on links.

• JW Library Jehovah's Witnesses

• I thank you.

• If you install it and search for the word gay you will see what I mean.

• It will open a browser to their publications

• 1:22 PM I gotcha. I understand. I am glad you took some time to let us know. I appreciate that and so does Apple. I will get this up to the folks above me. I thank you a great deal.

• No problem

• You are all set on my side. Again, many thanks. Thank you for being the best part of Apple!

That is all. I have no idea if the info will really be seen by higher ups . But that was how it went.

Will you help us spread the word?

Mayne do it also on google play and let them know it’s been reported to Apples App Store and they are sending it upstream to be looked into. Basically let each one know of the other looking into it. I can’t imagine either of them wanting to be behind the 8 ball with not pulling it if the other decides to.
