Apple has put a ban on applications that display "open sexual content." Apple has this step, because it has been preserved, complaints from consumers and application developers for these applications. Many parents complained that although the apps come with parental control, but they do not work as advertising. Developers also complained against these applications because they can produce against spam and other applications "less visible."
An Apple spokesman said that if complaints about "objectionable content," the company initially an overview of the application and if they find the application is received not suitable, then you take it out and send letter to the app store application developers the necessary changes. However, these applications are reported as an error of some developers. Information Week reports:
The developers have dealt with the abundance of adult-oriented applications as a mistake. It is a clever tactic, since Apple is a procedures are in place to deal with errors and the company has a special form, the bug reporting for registered Apple developers is limited. A complaint filed by regular feedback channels have a hard time standing among the thousands of spam messages and questions Apple receives daily.
Harry McCracken wrote an interesting article about the ban in the PC world. He said that Apple is the application policies "to be much more puritanical." Apple does not apply to this strict policy for music and movies. Users can make movies that have six of the twelve best nude scenes ever filmed from iTunes. These movies are with "semi-SFW." The iTunes also has five of the eight "most sweartastic" movies. There are also songs with titles offensive, but all these are acceptable. So the million dollar question is this ban is just another joke?
