Removal of #Damus increases tension between users and #Apple for not allowing $BTC

The social networks and community of Damus users questioned Apple's policies. They questioned not allowing the use of #Bitcoin as aid to oppressed collectives or as financial instruments. One of the most critical was Preston Pysh:

"Hey @tim_cook. Clearly understand that there is no greater sign of communication than real open and free prices for all goods and services. Support #Bitcoin and stop the insanity of the authorized gatekeepers. The last to act will be the most punished. tick, tock, next block!".

Damus tweeted on June 26 that it was still being removed from the app store. Even after updating its app to "make it clear that no digital content is unlocked when users receive tips."
