Wouldn't it depend on the terms of service? How about If Apple's terms of service said something like "...we (Apple), valuing clear and open dialog with our customers, absolutely will not remove posts unless they are vulgar or insulting to other members..." Could they delete a link to an unfavorable review?

Just curious?
