This is what someone I know wrote about this on another forum:
"This story is complete crap.
What they are referring to is 'https://iphone-services.apple.com/clbl/unauthorizedApps', where the "clbl" part stands for "Core Location Black List". It is inside the Core Location framework because it deal with Core Location security. It doesn't disable any apps at all, it merely prevents certain apps from accessing the Core Location services.
Core Location, so you know, is the API that allows develops to access and use the A-GPS system of the iPhone. This, obviously, has major security concerns. It is great for geo-tagging photos, and for finding out what services are around your location (bars, restaurants, etc.), but you wouldn't want a developer to be able to use it to track your exact location permanently, for example. That is stalkerish."
