Apple CEO Steve Jobs has been responding to customer emails a lot lately, but his latest email has made the headlines, probably because it involves pornography.
When asked by customer Matthew Browning about Apple's role in being gatekeepers, Jobs responded: "We do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone. Folks who want porn can buy an Android phone."

Now all the people who were considering buying a iPhone and occasionally look at pr0n are going to buy the Android; instead of buying the iPhone then diappointingly find out that they cannot browse 9r0n.
Apple has lost potential customers who like pr0n, which is a pretty huge market.

Yeah right, it's not like the iStore is full of music and movies with sexual and violent content, nooo, and the iPhone can't even access porn sites nooo, how could it.
It's good that apple finally admits that iPhone is for kids but still:

IMHO = communist censorship!

No "porn"? C'mon, any crApple product is a w0hre in itself(particularly the latest oversized iTouch), all you do is pay good money for it and get nothing special in return, just the illusion of good times and quality service,with no substance...

Are some of your lives so pathetic that you have to carry p0rn around with you on your phone? I am in no way in favor of censorship but seriously, some people need to get a life.

Well maybe Steve figures that frequent porn viewers are not getting screwed and if you purchase the iPhone or most other Apple products you are getting screwed so there is no need for the porn anymore.

Don't be knocking porn. Some of us would rather have the option of getting T&A on our phone then have someone else tell us what we can and cant download (a la apple).
In fact, I'm now a proud owner of the official YES STEVE, I WANT PORN! Android badge. I highly recommend you go get one too!!

The problem is not that pron is not allowed... the problem is who decides what is pron and what is not.
I'd rather be allowed to make that decision myself, being an adult and all.

That I agree with. I do not see how they can stop browsing regular internet when it comes to adult material but maybe some better parental controls in the app store maybe. Of course many parents don't do such thing even though they are present in many things like Game Consoles, Computer Operating Systems and other tech equipment already. I have shown a few parents how to lock down their kids XBoxes and use things like the parental controls and "Family Safety" in Windows to prevent things like playing rated M games and filtering adult material on the web. Most are fairly easy to do and only take a few minutes to set up. Ultimately it is up to the parent to decide. If Mommy and Daddy allow their 8 year old to look at porn on their iPod or play rated M games and apps that is their fault and Steve-O should not be deciding for us. I tribute his attitude to his god complex that he feels that he is better than everyone else. At least that is the impression I get when I hear and see him present.

Now I see why the iPhone will never have Adobe Flash...that would open up a huge world of prono!
BTW...thank you my Jobs, I found that prono app because of you. I am so glad that I have a phone designed for adults, and not for the pre-teen offspring of some Jesus Freak.

The first mistake he made was buying an Apple product, second was not throwing it out once he bought it.

China blocks sites that they consider bad when they find them. I was thinking more of an apple app-store-like internet, where pages can only be viewed by users once they have been submitted and approved by apple...and where sites like HP.COM, Google.com, NORML.ORG, and REDTUBE.COM do not exist. At this point, I honestly would not be suprised to see apple do this, "For the Kids"...but it is turned on by default, and you have to make a call to disable the blocks...and on the next model after that, they will just leave it blocked for everyone and tell users with new 2-year contracts, "If you want Google.com, go to android!"
