Ask HN: Apple rejects my HN app updates over Covid related content

Recently in the news [1] I read that Apple is cracking down apps related to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak that aren't from recognized institutions like governments or hospitals. Today, I am facing the same issue with my HN reader app - HackerNewsX [2] Using search feature reviewer found stories containing COVID keyword and flagged app as a breach of 'Guideline 5.1.1 - Legal - Privacy - Data Collection and Storage' [3] > Per section 5.1.1 (ix) of the App Store Review Guidelines, apps that provide services or collect sensitive user information in highly-regulated fields, such as healthcare, should be submitted by a legal entity that provides these services, and not by an individual developer. Please advise how I can negotiate with Apple and resolve this matter. [1] https://ift.tt/2POR01q [2] https://ift.tt/31opw8d [3] https://ift.tt/2kV6YbT
