Apple issued one of its bi-annual transparency reports today, and apart from the usual numbers on account takedown requests, the company issued a statement saying that it'll soon start reporting government requests to take down apps from the App Store. These requests will relate to alleged legal and / or policy provision violations, Apple says.
These numbers will tell us just how often governments are trying to block access to certain apps, and how many of those orders are actually obeyed. Google doesn't yet report these numbers specifically for the Play Store. I'd be interested to know why the requests were filed and what apps were affected, but Apple hasn't said if it'll call apps out by name.

It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts! She tried to say this, but it came out as in unintelligible scream of agony. But it didn't do anything; the man did not stop. Snap! Another broken bone.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" the man said, as he shouted in ecstasy. Then, sure enough, it happened; the man orgasmed into the little girl's nubile womb. As he finished, the man moaned in pleasure and a loud crack was heard. It needn't even be said where the sound originated from.
Satisfied, the man got up and moved on to greener pastures. What was left behind was a rotting object that held no value whatsoever.

People think that's you, you know. The easy way would be to compare IPs, which would at least establish that if it *is* you you're proxying.

"orgasm" doesn't take a prepositional phrase. "nubile" is only used to describe people (women), not wombs. I can't really tell where the crack came from. Is it supposed to be the girl's womb cracking from the ejaculation? Or the man's penis cracking?
Also, bodies don't rot immediately.

So the government now looks for violations of the app store ToS?

Whenever there's a DMCA takedown google will replace the original search hit with a link to Chilling Effects, where there's an image of the original takedown notice.
Those notices always include the specific URL they want Google to remove from its index.
For years now I've been puzzling over crawling every last one of those takedowns as my bot OCDs the link.
So I release my idea to the public consciousness.
Do yer worst.

I'm sure someone already figured that out.
But the shitty bot running on your mining ASIC will not be able to handle the 3.5 billion takedowns and counting.
