Apple Says It Doesn't Approve of EU Porn App
(www.macrumors.com)
Americans being weird about sex again.
Hey don't wrap us all into it, it's just the weirdo old religious prune fucks that also happen to be running things atm
The ones who look at more porn than anyone else?
Again? We never stopped...
How horrible! Porn! Is this what ~~jesus~~ jobs would have wanted??
Well, it’s dubious at best that they call it “Apple-approved”.
But it is. For malware checks though, not content validation.
You know very well that that is not the impression the dev is trying to make, and it will probably not hold in court either.
The headline sounds like they were going to try to somehow stop it but what happened was the 3rd party app store called it "the first Apple-approved porn app" and Apple was like "uhhhh no..."
In marketing for the app, AltStore referred to Hot Tub as "the first Apple-approved porn app," and Apple has taken issue with the wording.
oh no, porn on the internet. Somebody hide the defenseless kids.
Inserting your approval is a crime, Apple.
Stop telling people what they can do with their phones.
Life finds a way. Eventually. In Europe first, for some reason.
The whole thing is dumb. This “app” could’ve been a website.
Of course, it all smells more like a marketing trick, “look what we have, switch to alt” bragging.
