“The socially conservative Parents Television Council (PTC) thinks a wealth of salacious apps are currently available for iPhone users — things like ‘My Vibe,’ which converts the iPhone into a vibrator, and ‘Love Positions Free,’ which has drawings of couples having sex,” Koprowski reports. “The group has publicly demanded that Apple stop providing porn to children — and clean up its act.”
Koprowski reports, ” In recent weeks the PTC successfully lobbied Apple to remove some blatant pornography from the iTunes store, including an application called ‘Shawna Lenee Private Dance,’ which featured a porn movie star and former Penthouse vixen fondling herself… Gavin McKiernan, the PTC’s grassroots director, said Apple executives assured the group that the content on its App Store would be clean, and he hopes that any remaining pornographic applications or the many sexually-themed ‘wallpapers’ still available are “there by mistake, possibly. Apple needs to maintain its corporate social responsibility,’ he said.”

LOL
So I’m Australian and I will pretend for a moment that I don’t know anything…
Doesn’t freedom of speech come into this considering Apple is American?
I mean, Apple doesn’t want porn on its platform. Just by doing that they are controlling speech. Violation #1 of the constitution… your constitution.
With the way Apple handles itself an anti-trust law suit is on the way.

“I’m surprised that right wing, religious wing-nuts ever remove enough clothing to reproduce. They must just do it in the dark.”
And with their eyes closed!

That would be a little too Simple Simon!
It’s government that can’t abridge free speech,
not a business corporation.
Shawna Lenee? When she was Kara Mynor (lol!!) she was cute, but now, sporting a silicone valley, she’s just a fake blonde b¡mbo.
@JadisOne – outstanding thought, loved it.
Is this the kind of filth the PTC are worried about?

Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
I think it’s good that Apple removes this kind of shit from the App store. It’s very disturbing to brows aroud and see these Apps among all the other normal programs. Just think about children browsing the App stor and see Apps like these…
