I don't get why they don't just slap an adult age (varies by jurisdiction) and sensitive content gates on it and be done with it. Some people who are of legal age want sensitive content apps and web stuff and others don't want to see any of it. Let users decide. Default it to sensitive content off. Problem solved. We can all go home now. :)
In this case, it's Walmart telling the shop down the street they shouldn't be allowed to sell porn because someone might read it while wearing a Walmart t-shirt.
Yeah but remember kids "regulations = evil". If apple was forced to allow porn what's next? We'd probably end up in a communist dictatorship or something equally terrible
>The company lashed out again in its latest statement, saying it’s “deeply concerned about the safety risks that hardcore porn apps of this type create for EU users, especially kids.”
I like how Apple always conveniently forgets that Safari exists when making claims like this.
What do you mean by "it"? The Apple App Store banned porn from the beginning in 2008, but Apple was required by the Digital Markets Act to allow this app to be distributed outside the App Store in the European Union. That's it, the whole story. I'm not sure why you're trying to introduce some strange conspiracy involving Trump.
Yes, I know, private cooperation can decide what they want to do but once you get to a point of monopoly these rules should change.
Visa/Master card have the same issue.
Why do they get to be the arbiter of what I can and can’t do?

I'll bet it does happen after they have evaluated their 'test'.
