Apple pulls the plug on developers

Hot on the heels of Apple announcing that it's pulling about 5,000 apps which either contain or hint at adult material it has caused a bit of a furore in the developer community. Is it right that Apple can just pull a revenue stream at short notice?  To be fair it is their store and they make the rules, the problem is their dictator like control they have and lack of solid information detailing what developers are and are not allowed to have in their app.  It all comes down to a yes or a no if your app is approved and you'll get no reason why if it is rejected.

So Apple, if you are removing all applications which can display such content why don't you remove Safari as well? After all that can display content just fine, from any source...  At least give developers a clear guide on what they can and cannot do
