We were taken down by o2's filter on Monday
We're a brand new UK startup that's all about Fresh Local Food and Drink.
On Friday, Apple featured us on the front page of the Apple Store. We were thrilled.
We learned today - after 3 days of massively reduced traffic and a fear we'd got something very wrong, that we'd fallen foul of o2 censorship. Goodness only knows why. On Monday o2 shut down our iPhone app for all customers on it's network; by blocking our web-app framework. The framework that powers us, our App lost all functionality and our initial surge of interest - 17,500 downloads in our first 2 weeks, tailed off.
I'll stop there. I'm furious but helpless in the circumstances. They apologised for their mistake late today - they'll have us up and running tomorrow. Well woopy-bloody-do!
