Can you please explain?

This was local news for me. Basically, as a classified platform they were a pimp and got shut down by feds (granted they helped produce the ads, which is what a digital pimp would do). Laws have been amped up as focus on reducing sex/human trafficking. It’s now similar to the money laundering laws put in place in the big narco cocaine days. If you’re any type of legit business, or prison fearing at all, you don’t want to have any relations with that type of 1:1 transaction

Can you please explain? It doesn't want to handle the money when you rent a hooker.

  But what if I want one-to-few or even one-to-many experience?

    That's just like Apple fucking its developers. One to many.

    If you’re throwing a seminar or training, there are witnesses that will likely reduce the chance of illegal behavior. Unless, of course, you throw a gangbang, and Apple ends up eating 30% of the price of admission. Imagine the headline!

      It would be really nice if corporate america would pull the sticks out of their asses when it comes to sexual activity Imagine how much more fun life would be if vices were more accessible

        Define "corporate America." The majority of American companies, even Disney, do whatever it takes to make money, including catering to sexual interests. Apple is one of the few that has different standards. And some of its consumers appreciate that. There's room in the market for both views.

        Most companies sprint away from actual sexual activity, or photos/videos/drawings of such. (Not books though, for some reason.) Especially payment processors, which cause serious bottlenecks in the ability of people to pay for services online. Apple seems to be in the majority from where I look.

        Almost nobody wants their advertisement running next to porn. Almost nobody permits their services to be used for sexual activity unless said service explicitly caters to it. Disney boxes all their "adult" stuff under the Dreamworks label IIRC. Everybody wants to be "family friendly", which means no sexy stuff. Violence? Sure. Guns? Sure. Sex? Get that filth out of my product!

        Steve Jobs quotes: “Folks who want porn can buy an android.” “You might care more about porn when you have kids. It’s not about freedom, it’s about Apple trying to do the right thing for its users.” TBH as much good as he did, he sounds like a pretty boring square, one of those people who liked drugs in their 20s then got married and lived the entire remainder of his life alternating between home and his suburban office. I don’t know the guy, I’m just going based on what was reported of his work. In general I don’t think people who consider cities like Santa Clara or Cupertino to have very good taste, despite the popularity of square American suburban living.
