Let's not act like he would have cared about this while he was alive. Apple's products and services always place family-friendlyness over any kind of free expression.



Steve Jobs was quoted as saying "those who want porn can get an Android". I'm very much afraid you are wrong on this one.


Isn't that exactly what mrich is saying? Family-friendly over porn?

I remember reading a quote of Jobs where he said 'no-one wants porn on their phone', when clearly porn is popular enough that plenty of people do.


He even, very ironically, said iOS gives you freedom from porn.


Yeah as I say, "I hope"... maybe even retrospectively from atop of his own 'iCloud'. Please read my comment as slightly tongue in cheek, I'm well aware of his later-life stance on adult material.


I lol'ed at the iCloud reference :-) sorry, I didn't read the humour, should not have been so abrupt!
