In response to Apple's initial response to the "Images" app:
I'm amazed by the disconnect between how people really feel about porn and how they purport to feel about it. Sexual desire is a basic human need. The vast majority of American men and women view pornography, yet few acknowledge it.
I appreciate that this is difficult to change because prudishness is deeply engrained in our culture, but I would like to see tech companies take a more progressive role in opening up a realistic dialogue about sex.
- shabble 13y agoIt's a lot less risk for an organisation to appear prudish or paternal than to give their opponents a free attack ad about "corrupting our children/society". The weird rules (apps vs browsers) likely just fall out from the "censorship theater", in a parallel with airport security. It's an escape hatch, giving the organisation an "At least we tried!" defence.
