Apple bans app that promoted secret parties during pandemic

Apple has pulled the plug on Vybe Together, an iPhone app that allowed users to organize secret parties that would breach social-distancing rules in many cities.  

At writing time, the app isn't available on Apple's App Store, and its website was taken down. The app's Instagram profile says "App Store took us down!!! We will be back!!"

"Miss playing beer pong, flirting with strangers, and generally just having a blast with the crew? Vybe is here for you," said the text on the app's now defunct website. The app's tagline read "Get your rebel on, Get your party on."

Vybe Together says it was promoting "small gatherings," but the imagery on its website doesn't exactly look like it promotes safe behavior during a pandemic.
