Earlier in the thread, you specifically said that you thought they would try to censor material served by 3rd parties if they could, as that was their vision for the platform. That's hard to square with the idea that you've been talking about Apple's censorship of apps they host as some sort of minimal grounds for absolving themselves of legal responsibility.
On top of that, the content that sparked this discussion is clearly legal. There's no possible way Apple would be in criminal danger from hosting it, and I'm sure a civil suit wouldn't make it very far either, especially considering the scare wall and the parental controls.
I guess I should also make it clear that I'm not suggesting Apple ought to host illegal (or even borderline legal) content simply because it can be accessed through a browser. Apple doesn't make the choice about what's legal, and I just assumed it was understood that that was out of scope of the discussion.
