Bazinger (an investment site) staff writer Jonathan Chen speculates that Apple which this week removed the Wikileaks app from it's App Store might become a target for Wikileaks.
" "Is it likely that Apple could become a target? Of course," said John Bumgarner, chief technology officer for the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit."Anyone that distances themselves from WikiLeaks could potentially become a cyber target." "
Speculates Chen on Google keeping the app: "Maybe Google is a little smarter than those in Cupertino, and realizes that if you mess with WikiLeaks, you're more than likely going to become a target of it."
An Apple representative had explained why Apple had removed the app "We removed WikiLeaks because it violated developer guidelines. An app must comply with all local laws. It may not put an individual or target group in harms way. "
