If anyone in the county can object about anything, this whole system can be made unworkable if enough people complain about random things, basically DDos the whole bureaucracy.

Also in iOS 9 you have to approve running an app the first time signed with an Enterprise cert.

... and I need more people to use Facebook so my advertisers give me more money to ensure my stock doesn't go down.

The stuff they did back in high school today would have gotten them killed and Apple would just be fruit.
