Thrice Rejected by Apple for Enabling Porn, Vanish is not a porn app

It's a simple way to share pictures and see who's looking back. How can you make your pictures look better? Put a blur on it (think Portlandia)! And when your friends want to see what's behind the blur, you'll instantly be notified. Not creepy at all. Let's call it something nice, like digital eye-contact. We built Vanish at Xylo Media as a fun exercise in developing an HTML5 mobile framework. And, more importantly, because the world badly needs another photo-sharing app. We're excited to see what the internets do with this. Once again, don't use it for porn or to #FreeTheNipple, we have like a ton of moderators. All the moderators. Download it now at www.vanish.fm or directly from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vanish-fm/id793488785 Feedback appreciated, trolling expected.
