Since when does Google allow you to watch porn? They do everything to fight it. You can't even install legit porn apps without manually downloading the apk. And then it only works on your phone and tablet, not the TV where it would actually be desired to work. Also what right does Google have to tell me what I can and can't watch on my TV/device?

iOS too. Porn apps are expressly forbidden.

  Huhh? I mean, I wouldn't trust any porn site with app permissions, but how does that logic even make sense? The inevitable conclusion would be that Chrome should be banned as well, since I'm sure there's some sketchy corner of the internet with that crap available.

    > Chrome should be banned as well, since I'm sure there's some sketchy corner of the internet with that crap available. Do you know the difference between a open browser and a app store meant to distribute apps? Chrome is not responsible for the website's content. But the app store will be help responsible for an app's content.

      Maybe I'm obtuse, but I don't really see the difference between downloading Firefox from the play store or downloading a porn app. In either case, I downloaded an app from Google's servers that allows me to view objectionable content. If the objection is that Google doesn't want to provide an app that can be used to access illegal content, then why provide a browser? I would think that there is less of a chance of finding child porn on a major porn site app than what would be avaliable via a browser. The only difference I can think of is that a browser has other functionality besides adult content.

        I would think rather the difference is that it allows the Play Store itself not to contain any apps that market themselves as being about porn. Sure, you can use them for that purpose, but someone searching the Play Store will not be able to get to a store page that is pornographic or explicitly intended for pornography.

Congratulations. You may see it like that, not many others will. > The only difference I can think of is that a browser has other functionality besides adult content. Yes. Same reason why the reddit app exists in the play store. There is some other content other than porn on reddit.

    I'm sure you are aware that Chrome doesn't host the internet and didn't think this through.
