Tell the Apple iTunes Store to Remove Anti-Immigrant iPhone Application

Tell the Apple iTunes Store to Remove Anti-Immigrant iPhone Application

The Issue

Want to keep in touch with bigots? There's an app for that

NumbersUSA -- a white nationalist hate organization with a special hatred for immigrants -- has just launched a brand new iPhone application.

Apple -- a company that usually exercises due diligence in screening its applications -- has allowed NumbersUSA a market to spread its hatred and lies. This is the same company that rejected a single-payer healthcare iPhone application last year because it was "politically charged."

Maybe I missed a memo and Apple thinks it is alright to host and advance the agenda of a politically charged right-wing extremist organization.

Change.org users should stand up and say that "Applications that support anti-immigrant ferver have no place in the iTunes Store." It's not just offensive -- it is bad business practice.

After signing this petition, iPhone and iPad users should report this app online or call Apple's public relations line at (408) 974-2042. Let Apple know that providing a platform for bigotry is never okay.
