Confirmation! From the Oracle of Apple his bad self.
Concerns about iPhone porn among reasons for closed platform, Steve Jobs says :: Catholic News Agency (CNA): "Los Angeles, Calif., Apr 10, 2010 / 06:55 pm (CNA).- Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs has cited concerns about pornography on Apple iPhones as one reason the company disallows ‘unsigned’ third-party software, unlike Google and its Android mobile operating system.
Speaking at a Q & A session Thursday following a preview of iPhone Operating System 4.0, Jobs was asked if Apple has any intention of allowing ‘unsigned’ applications to run on the iPhone.
According to Apple Insider, all third-party software must be approved by Apple for sale on the iTunes App Store.
Jobs responded to the question by noting that there is a ‘porn store’ for competitor Google’s Android system.
'You can download it, your kids can download it,' he said, according to Apple Insider. 'That's a place we don't want to go, so we're not going to.'
The iTunes Store reportedly still sells applications for Playboy Magazine and other risqué established publications."
