Reports: 5,000 'overtly sexual' iPhone apps purged
Found on CNet News on Sunday, 21 February 2010
Chillifresh claimed in a Saturday post that a discussion with Apple revealed that more than 5,000 apps have been affected by its new App Store content policy.
AppShopper sister site MacRumors on Sunday reported that app removals went from about 100 a day to a high of almost 4,000 on Friday.
Interestingly, some apps that include sexual content, such as Playboy's, seem to have been missed by the recent purge--so far, at least.
Morals everywhere. Imagine where the Internet would be if porn (or even "images of skin") would have been prohibited by its creators. Right, it would have never been of any real interest for the average person. But then it's the decision of Apple to censor rigorously like a bunch of frigid catholic nuns.
