Siegler reports, “When questioned about Apple’s role as moral police in the App Store, Jobs responds that ‘we do believe we have a moral responsibility to keep porn off the iPhone.’ Better, is what he said next: ‘Folks who want porn can buy and [sic] Android phone.’”
Siegler reports, “Assuming this email is legit, this isn’t the first time Jobs has suggested users try Android if they want porn. Earlier this month, during a Q&A session after the iPhone 4.0 OS event, Jobs said, ‘You know, there’s a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That’s a place we don’t want to go – so we’re not going to go there.’”
“This is noteworthy both because it’s funny, and because Apple and Google are in the early stages of a war that’s brewing between the iPhone and Google’s Android platform,” Siegler reports. “Jobs is apparently going to keep taking these jabs from what he considers to be the moral high-ground.”
