I have no real hangup over porn (indeed, I spend days looking at it for work..) but I can see his point.
Apple, understandably, don't want to be in the minefield arena of porn distribution via the App Store - it's a smoking gun in a sense.
This is just a closed product of the App store.
Though it appears Jobs also considers it a moral imperative; which is wrong.
- robotron 17y agoTo repeat what others have said: there is no porn in the Android Marketplace. There is a 3rd party adult appstore. There are also some "girlie" apps like swimsuit model calendars or whatever. Saying "Folks who want porn can buy and [sic] Android phone" is not Jobs defending the iPhone but attacking the Android platform.
- ErrantX 17y agoTo be fair; Jobs is commenting about Android - not the Android Marketplace. It feels a distinct difference. (I wasn't commenting on that anyway tbh)
- theBobMcCormick 17y agoTotal strawman argument. The Android market also doesn't allow porn. See the developer content policy here: http://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html http://www.android.com/us/developer-content-policy.html.
- ErrantX 17y agoNot at all. Android is irrelevant to the point I was making.
- theBobMcCormick 17y agoSorry, I thought your comment about Apple not wanting to be in the porn distribution business related to Jobs misleading and false implication that the Android Market is in the porn business.
- ErrantX 17y agoNah it wasn't. Hosting porn is a potential minefield, one that face I can see why it would be avoided. Edit; strictly speaking were putting words in his mouth there. He said android not android marketplace. And in that he is strictly accurate.
