Apple Banning "Overtly Sexual" Content on App Store

**hollow0** · 02-19-2010, 01:47 PM

I agree that the attempts at porn in the Appstore have all been horrible and removing them won't personally affect me whatsoever. Still, a jiggle app isn't "porn" and even if it WAS, you should have a pretty good idea of it before downloading it, somehow being surprised and offended, then complaining to Apple.

The simple thing to do is an age verification system associated with iTunes accounts. I do not know why they don't do that

i wont be the one to say that the religion comments are pretty bogus. oh wait i just did completely unintentionally

Who cares? The Safari app can access a website called google, who knew. Good on Apple, maybe people will quit buying and downloading this crap and the devs will stop clogging up the App Store with this garbage. This is the exact time when Apple should be encouraged to drop the hammer.

^^ i vote everyone complains about every sound board they can find over and over until those are gone too

**kraziebone** · 02-19-2010, 02:49 PM

^are you complaining?

Everyone is saying if you don't want it don't download it but if you do a search for just about anything you find these soft porn apps everywhere and you have to sift throught it all. I don't want my kid running into this everytime he does a search in the AppStore. There really does need to be a toggle for it

**Brinky** · 02-19-2010, 03:03 PM

Oh why won't apple remove Safari from the iPhone? Do they not know how many naked photos I can see and the number of web sites I can visit that can steam hard core porn right to my iPhone? I am offended that apple would allow such a disgusting app to be put on my iPhone.

Dear God please think of the children!!!!

If any one needs a list of such sites, let me know and I will be happy to share the best of what I have found so far.

Very True.

It's not like your p0rn app is your girlfriend.

Seriously? Why not force your ideas on everyone? Not every iPhone user is an overly religious (i.e. Christian) person. Sounds like the golden trumpet of independence and freedom being muted, not sounded. Please keep your stifling viewpoints to yourself. kthxbye

Lol as this makes a difference, you can get proper porn through the iPhone's Safari browser

i agree i cant even go to a category in the appstore without seeing.."BOOBS" or stupid garbage. if we really want porn we know where to get it. leave it off the app store.

No, it's not.

Religions are about making a better choice in the face of tempting things, not neutering your choices before you make them.

Supposing good can be done by removing free will is a lie from the pit.

If i wanted to look at softcore porn id google images. There plenty of websites out there that have good quality .mp4 porn to stream. I dont beleive in the censorship but I cant say im sad to see some of that trash go.

**pyromcr** · 02-19-2010, 07:20 PM

this is why cydia is awesome. no filters!

**Armored** · 02-19-2010, 07:29 PM

I guess I'm glad to see them go, but it is another bad move for apple and us that they are so controlling. I think if they could just seclude the stuff. That way they're not censoring anything, but we won't see it while browsing. Sorry if religion offends you, buddy, but i don't want to see that crap. If they keep it, keep it separate.

They banned a dictionary app because it contained bad words? holy **** apple, thats what a dictionary is for! To look up words!
What's next? Is apple going to ban dictionaries because the start of the word is a reference to slang for male reproductive organs? Or maybe to play it safe, apple will ban apps if they contain the letter a, e, i, o, u, and maybe y,
