Is that true? Because that would cut out the Tumblr, Imgur, Reddit, Flickr, Twitter, etc. apps. And those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
- sneak 8y agoI urge you to look into why the Reddit NSFW search looks and works the way it does, and why Tumblr alienated their userbase this quarter. In both cases you will find the root cause to be Apple app store policies. Steve Jobs once famously cited iOS as having “freedom from porn”, and went on to say that people would care more about it being blocked “when you have kids”. For being a California peacemonger, he missed out on big swaths of being a hippie.
