The only reason they would be associated with porn now is that they took a stance against porn in the first place.
That directly contradicts this:
Adult content would also be segregated into an adult store
You can't operate an adult store and avoid it becoming associated with your brand. Unless it has no customers - in which case: why operate it?
- rbanffy 16y agoI see no contradiction. All you would see is applications the account owner deem appropriate for you. It would be no more associated with porn than it is with, say, books. Or farting applications.
- pohl 16y agoI guess that's why you're not in charge of brand management. Among the tech-geek demographic the iPhone is already associated with farting applications. It's a common way to deride the quality of apps at the store when someone gets their knickers in a twist about the reasons Jobs gave for section 3.3.1 - and that's just a current event. Imagine running an adult store for a decade. People talk. People read. Hiding an adult store behind an individual's preferences would not prevent word from getting out. I guarantee you that if Disney tried to run a triple-X store in the way you suggest that knowledge of it would get out and it would cause an enormous shit-storm. Everything any customer experiences that fires a neuron linked to your name or your logo or your products is associated with your brand.
