Quick Glance: Apple Removes iGBA Emulator from App Store for Policy Violations
  • Apple has officially announced the removal of the iGBA Game Boy emulator from the App Store due to violations of the store's policies related to spam and copyright issues, with no specific details provided.

  • The developers of iGBA created a similar version of the popular open-source GBA4iOS emulator by Riley Testut. Despite iGBA reaching the top of the App Store charts after its release this weekend, complaints arose regarding the app being a clear imitation overloaded with advertisements.

  • The reasons behind Apple's decision to remove iGBA are still unclear. Clarification on the app removal process has been requested from Apple, and this article will be updated once additional information is received.

  • An intriguing feature of iGBA was the capability for iPhone users to download any Game Boy game ROMs from the internet. However, the app's removal raises uncertainty about Apple's stance on allowing ROM-loading apps in the App Store. Nintendo has explicitly stated on its US customer support website that downloading pirated copies of its games is illegal, but whether Nintendo has reached out to Apple on this matter remains ambiguous.

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
  • A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

  • Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

  • Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.
