Steve Jobs has been answering his email again, this time responding to questions about Mark Fiore, the Pulitzer-Winning editorial cartoonist who had his app rejected back in December (but recently approved). A customer wrote in with some concerns about Apple's iron grip on the content iPhone owners are allowed to receive in app form, saying he had an issue with "the blocking of Mark Fiore's comic app (due to being political satire) or blocking of what Apple considers to be porn"

Jobs jumped right on the "porn" part of the complaint, writing "We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone ... Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone." That's not just Steve in a bad mood, either. He also called out Android's porn apps earlier this month during the Q&A for iPhone OS 4.0, where he said that on Android, "Your kids can download porn. That's a place we don't want to go."

Of course, Apple itself makes the ultimate iPhone porn app, and bundles it for free with every device. It's called Safari, and I wouldn't be too surprised if Steve has given it a try. He's got nothing to lose by taking the high ground, though, because for every porn fiend who actually cares whether "there's an app for that," 2 or 3 parents will think of the iPhone as a more kid-friendly choice

Yeah.

There was an article in one of the trades I was just reading. It talking about this and how many of the APP developers went from nice money, to no money. Additionally, how most of the adult or racy APPS were the top sellers before being yanked.

[Agent 488]

yeah that creepy vampire is butthurt about the android.

"We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone ... Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone."

Wow. Just, WOW.



All they need to do now is get the Androids working with Flash and the iphone will be dead.

Sounds like positive advertising for the Android. Who doesn't want porn? What kind of jackass parents are buying their kids a $400+ phone anyways?

[MetaMan]

Never heard of steve obs who is he?

[bronco67]

he's a fucking jack-ass. I hate his stupid, over-priced paperweights.

I would never use an iPhone simply because they are on ATT and ATT sucks butt bubbles...

[BlackCrayon]

keep porn off the iphone? hmm, better stop offering internet on it then.

Some guy making a killing making computers out of his basement because his name sounds so familiar to Steve Jobs.

One of the comments from the thread on techcrunch:

Agree. Admittedly, we come off a bit moralizing (because, well, we are…), but there are plenty of MEN who don’t want porn on the iphone, internet, or anywhere else…

It does as much damage to society as alcohol does…

We are slowly turning into a nation of pussies. We are on the way to turn into the society of Demolition Man

Any man that says he doesn't like porn is a liar.

these are the same "men" that say a teenage boy is damaged for life when his hot teacher fucks him.

That's not necessarily true. Keep in mind we live in a world where the majority of the population believes in talking snakes and virgin mothers.

Reminds me of something Mike Galanos from HLN said about the Lingerie Bowl-

"Lingerie models playing football in their underwear, who wants to watch that?!"

He wasn't being sarcastic. It was one of those face palm, "Oh man, you've gotta be fucking kidding me" moments.

He needs to get his balls back from his wife, and surrender them to the sea.

I'd take Stallone over Arnold.

I am sure Jobs has nothing personal against porn but rumor is the FCC was snooping around and they were getting heat. Because the iPhone has no age verification system, parents were complaining their kids could download adult apps from the app store which is not good. Apple has to approve every app in the store and they are responsible for its content seeing as how they license and sell it. I dont think they were willing to risk lawsuits and millions in damages because of porn apps, so they went thru and axed all of them. I think they went a bit overboard, but its not my company and I am not looking at lawsuits.
