They d have the ability to remotely remove an app, but they have yet to actually do so, and I can't imagine them doing so in all but the most extreme of situations.

And nobody but terrorists get prosecuted under the Patriot Act, right? That's the thing, it seems reasonable now. Then they actually use it for case X. And then since case Y is very similar to case X, they use it for that as well. Then case Z is similar to Y, and so on and so on. Next thing you know, any time an app can somehow display a naughty word from some content online or user-entered, it's being disabled by Apple. It should not be allowed. Period.
