Apple has recently removed sexual nature of the App Store apps. I was delighted to hear this. I hate shots with a list of applications, only to be hit in the face with some impertinent, out-of-place app which has no reason to be there.
The most recent and unfortunate rumors suggest that Apple will create a category "Explicit" for the submission of the app. With gratitude, I assume that this category could probably be blocked.
I decided to send Apple feedback. Companies that make good choices should praises and validated. Apple has made a good choice, but probably due to pressure exerted by the licentious content providers, they are buckling and providing a new channel for this content.
Here's what I wrote to Apple:
I wish to to delete you for your recent efforts the sexually explicit content from the App Store applauding. This is something noble and commendable to do.
Steve Jobs said in his speech on the App Store that Apple allow not pornography. You have so far allowed yourselves get sucked into the morally relative battle of what exactly is "porn", and contained sexual of varying degrees of offensiveness has penetrated the App Store.
Rumors are flying that you will create an "explicit" category for that content. While I find that it is unnecessary (I believe that the entire category should be prevented from permanently presentation), I suppose that this will be something that can be voluntarily blocked users.
There are various ways a person can consume sexual material. You do need not taint your otherwise lovely App Store with this. I say end entirely with her.
Thank you for your time.
Take the time to send Apple your point of view. Good things happen when many people shut up, and we are not to be influenced by any perception that nobody else feels the same way. Obviously enough people (probably from parents of children with Touches of the iPod) complained to Apple to open it in the first place.
You are going to say what you feel to Apple.
