Such an app would violate the App Store rules:

4.2 Minimum Functionality: Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website. If your app is not particularly useful, unique, or “app-like,” it doesn’t belong on the App Store.

Probably a pretty big grey area, considering how many mobile websites are for all intents and purposes an app. I'm sure you'd be able to do it with some minimal added "functionality" to satisfy the requirements.

All their rules can be interpreted as they see fit. It's Apple. It's on purpose. They want to have freedom to easily ban stuff, but not seem too arbitrary at the same time.

Ok fine, adds public tracking of all Alex Jones court cases and money laundering.
