The latest buzz is that the App Store has eliminated many “dirty” apps from its offerings (although some made by big name companies, such as Playboy and Sports Illustrated, are still available). It seems that a few too many developers realized just how much sex sells, and the App Store was increasingly becoming a less family-friendly place. While there are those who consider this to be a breach of freedom of content (and are probably bitter about losing a certain fix) and I do think people should have liberty to create and partake in what they want, I have to side with the more conservative folk of the world on this issue. I think there is definitely a certain time and place for explicit content — the public domain of the app store, where everything can be accessed by anyone at any time, is absolutely inappropriate. Even though a person may not use the apps he/she comes across, the fact is they are still out there, and even the thumbnail can do some damage. Therefore, I applaud those who govern the App Store for making it a much cleaner, friendlier place. I no longer have to gouge my eyes out when I visit the entertainment section.
