Answer:
Yes - Removes content or user accounts or apps
As part of this commitment, Apple uses image matching technology to help find and report child exploitation. Much like spam filters in email, our systems use electronic signatures to find suspected child exploitation. We validate each match with individual review by an Apple employee. Accounts with child exploitation content violate our terms and conditions of service, and any accounts we find with this material are immediately disabled. p. 5
Pursuant to Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines, apps offered on the App Store must comply with all legal requirements in any location where made available. Apps that solicit, promote, or encourage criminal or clearly reckless behavior are rejected. In extreme cases, such as apps that are found to facilitate human trafficking or the exploitation of children, Apple will notify the appropriate authorities. p. 5
