Apple's stance that this is a shocking development, and previously the iPhone was some sort of porn-free zone is... strange.
Obviously, there's a web browser, but let's ignore that for now. More notably in this "we make you safe from porn inside apps" framing, there's incredibly prominent apps like Reddit or X, both of which are lousy with porn. If Apple thinks that porn is bad and worthy of being blocked from its store, they should take a look at that. This is just wildly hypocritical otherwise.
- Syonyk 2y agoAre they doing anything with the on-device "Hey, this image someone texted you may contain nudity, are you sure you want to see it?" sort of filters with what's displayed in apps, or is this a parental control option?
- kemayo 2y agoI believe apps can choose to hook into "sensitive content warnings" (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensitivecontentanalysis/detecting-nudity-in-media-and-providing-intervention-options https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensitivecontentan...) but I don't know whether any of the major social-networks-with-a-lot-of-porn apps actually do so. Mostly, they're in the App Store with age ratings of 17+, so parental controls will block them out. No idea how that system interacts with third party app stores, either -- but if it doesn't work there, that was very much Apple's implementation-choice.
