Comment on Apple disables Walkie Talkie app due to eavesdropping vulnerabilityparent

Can you expand on this? The App Store isn't really involved in this case: it's a first-party app, for one thing. It was also disabled by turning off the backend, which is something that any developer could do to their own app.

The Zoom thing has more to do with Apple as gatekeeper: they pushed an update to the OS that disallowed Zoom's web server from running.
