Google also removed similar apps from the app store for Android devices, although ICEBlock was never available on the Google Play store.

The developer of the ICEBlock app said the software has been removed from Apple's App Store due to "objectionable content."

The app’s developer has said he was inspired to create it because of similarities to stories he heard about Nazi Germany.

OpenAI's latest release has taken social media by storm, and that hype has helped Sora jump to the top of Apple's App Store free charts less than 72 hours after its release.

The creator of ICEBlock accuses the tech giant of "capitulating to an authoritarian regime" by removing his app.

Apple says they have pulled an app that allows users to track ICE agents after getting pressure from the Department of Justice. The app called "ICEBlock" allowed users to report where ICE was conducting raids.

The app used to monitor sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers has been taken down from Apple's store after a request from the DOJ.

OpenAI's Sora reached the top position on the Apple App Store as of Friday morning.
