Hello,
An update to my app, 8chen for Hacker News, is being rejected due to displaying 3rd party content (ex. news articles) in a webview (SFSafariViewController). Note that this is webview usage is not a new feature of this update - my app is already on the App Store [1] with it. As a Hacker News client, all of my app's content is submit and voted upon by HN users - the web content is not hardcoded or embedded into the app in any way - it is all dynamically fetched from Hacker New's official API. This is very similar to the Reddit app [2], which also allows users to view articles in an in-app webview.
Forcing the user to view the Hacker News articles outside of the app provides a poor user experience. Additionally, every other Hacker News reader app allows their users to view submissions in an in-app webview as mine does. As examples, please see:

Can any Apple admin help me out here? I do not understand why my app update is being single out. I have already tried re-submitting my app for approval in hopes of getting a more sane reviewer, but it was rejected again.
