On Friday 23.July 2021, Apple removed the famous Fakespot application from their online store, following complaints and reports from Amazon.
Publicly calling out frauds has always been a risky proposition. Fakespot made a name for itself in an attempt to spotlight the documented fake-review business plaguing Amazon product reviews. That effort seems to have drawn a lot of attention to Fakespot, both welcomed and otherwise.
According to an Apple spokesperson, the company attempted to give both parties time to work things out.
“This was a dispute over intellectual property rights initiated by Amazon on June 8 and within hours we ensured both parties were in contact with one another, explaining the issue and steps for the developer to take to keep their app on the store and giving them ample time to resolve the issue,” read the statement. “On June 29, we again reached out to Fakespot weeks before removing their app from the App Store.”
Saoud Khalifah, Fakespot’s founder and CEO, sees things differently.
“Apple are claiming that they gave us a notice that they are going to take us down, but these are all template emails that seem to be from a robot,” he explained over the phone. “Anyone would be disappointed with this whole process, especially when your livelihood depends on it,” he added.
