Phil Schiller of the ban talks about the sexual content of the App Store and its exceptions

If yesterday you talked about the elimination of more than 5000 applications from the App Store for its sexual content, today we bring you the explanations that Phil Schiller, vice president of worldwide product marketing for Apple , is doom to the New York Times. According to Schiller, some developers have been sending “a growing number of applications with very questionable content.

It has reached a point where we were receiving constant complaints from our customers who find too demeaning and offensive content as well as parents upset with what their children were able to see .” When asked about developers affected by this policy change, Schiller said that while they remain concerned about what is best for developers, at the end “we must put the needs of parents and children first”. Ironically, not all applications are measured with the same brush and some such as Playboy or Sports Illustrated with girls in bikinis showing off the palm are still available. “The difference is that this is recognized companies that have already published this material in a format broadly accepted good ” not you, but I simply do not reassured by the words of Schiller and that they only once again take the light so biased criteria applied in the review process of applications. Are you famous? Perfect. Are not you? Pity. Did you develop a program that offers improvements to what we do? Oh, no, confuse our users. Do they girls (or boys) naked? Holy Virgin! Vade Retro! Really, was it necessary? “To preserve the innocence of our children? Nobody has told Schiller that the iPhone has parental controls? Already a bunch of pissed-off parents (after all their children learned to download some apps before them) can give a lot of fear, but seriously, I repeat, what sense does it have the ability to block adult content in our starting phone if there is no adult content gasp? Something does not make sense. The author of The New York Times ventures to raise the possibility that the launch of the iPad may have something to do with this change in policy. The Apple tablet may have two of its most important niche, probably most, families and schools, so this new outburst of purity could well send a clear message for parents and teachers: The iPad corrupt not to tender your Infants … unless you use it to connect to the Internet, of course.
