Remember the Sex Offender Locator in the App Store? Because America kind of sucks sometimes, it was one of Apple’s top 10 paid apps for a while. Until Apple yanked it, that is.

The makers are apparently planning on suing Apple over this, but I don’t think they have a leg to stand on: it’s illegal to sell someone’s personal information in California, kidtoucher or no. And since this was a paid app, they really don’t have much to say about it, now do they?

I guess now it’s back to finding out whether or not your neighbor is going to molest you the old fashioned way: via judgement of their appearance.
