Facebook’s user privacy woes don’t seem to be letting up. According to a new report from The Wall Street Journal, the Facebook-owned Onavo Protect VPN service app will be removed from the App Store after Apple claimed it violated data collection policies.

And it didn’t take long for the app to be pulled. While the news broke only about an hour before our writing this story, we can confirm that the security app has already disappeared from the Australian version of the iOS App Store.
