San Jose Escorts: Sex? There are no more Apps for that
Sex? There are no more Apps for that
Apple’s always been a bit of a prude, but as they prepare to launch their iPad, they’re starting to outdo themselves.
Will they outdo themselves into their own undoing? Unlikely, but sometimes it sure seems like they’re trying.
Wired reported recently that Apple had briefly added an “explicit” category to the drop-down menu that developers use to categorize their submissions for the App Store, leading many to think that they were creating a red light district.
But it was all just a tease. It was gone almost as soon as it arrived, though industrious types managed to snag screenshots proving its ephemeral existence. It seems that Apple had second thoughts about getting into the smut business, at least for now.
Instead, Apple has chosen to enter the business of full-on censorship, banning adult-oriented apps that qualifies as “overtly sexual content” — yet retaining sexy apps from Playboy and Sports Illustrated magazines. Apple’s vice president of marketing, Phil Schiller, told The New York Times that the action was in response to complaints filed by concerned parents and women who found some content “degrading and objectionable.”
