I guess It's all about perspective. At the end of the day I think It is filth ,
I don't think most people consider it a work of art or something to be proud of, It's just something to do when your not getting any..
There have been instances where teachers have been caught watching porn while in school, and that is very disturbing when your a parent.. It actually happened in my high school when I was younger, obviously the teacher was sacked..
Don't think it has it's place in devices kids will be using.
Tired of Apple playing nanny with people, selecting lifestyles for me in a way even a church would not dare doing. And this from a company that last innovated phones in 20008 or so.

Trying to suppress things like this just makes them forbidden fruit and makes them more desirable.
Suppressing sexual relief is evil, whether by shame or other controls. It's also hypocritical since we're all human and dreaming the same stuff basically.
What? Last I checked, Apple doesn't tell me what data I can or cannot access via safari. I can go to whatever website I wish to go to. About the only thing they restrict is the Apps you can buy but that's their right as a private company. And you know what? Most people don't really mind.
I don't know what you are talking about with "lifestyles" since they don't have anything to do with how I live my life.
If you don't think being addicted is a problem, consider the amount of extra time you wish you had each day vs. the amount of time spent watching porn.
Try this: don't look at any porn for two weeks. Many addicts don't realize they're addicts until they attempt and fail that challenge.

Porn is a problem. It's much much too easy to become addicted, very difficult to recover from the addition, and it shouldn't be possible to find it without knowing what it is and actively seeking it out.
More on topic: how did this mistake come about? It sounds to me like a staff person must have been watching this content at some point while at work and will likely be fired as a result.

Of course they do. They blocked Flash, which means the only way to do proper playlisting so you can sell advertising inventory or secure video delivery so you can sell access was to distribute via applications. That had a major economic effect on what people could or couldn't offer you in Safari.
They also, for example, control the push notification framework. Want to run an online dating site or social network for kinksters that does something as innocuous as push notifications of new messages? Blocked.
Private company doesn't mean that they should have so much control over what people do or don't with devices that are an important part of people's life. If Apple wants to protect children they can use parental restrictions, and that's a good thing, but It's offensive to tell adults what they can or can't download when it's all legal.
Instead of censure, Apple should try to come out with a phone that's innovative instead of just being a bit longer than the one they had already man years ago.
Good for you! Thats how the free market is supposed to work!I'm glad I stopped using IOS, and I love the alternatives.
So do you have any cites to back up the remainder of your post? And if you are going to cite scientific studies, they should be real studies that do real research (not compilation studies) that show that porn is highly addictive (more so than other common addictions) and is objectively easy to be exposed to accidentally (than say, common violence, or the internet in general
When I download an app from the app store, I should be confident that opening the app and tapping on something labeled a "staff pick" won't be porn.
I have these:

... and the other article I unfortunately saved nowhere and I can't actually find... it was a blog post on cracked.com which is where I got the two week challenge to determine whether you're an addict or not in my initial post. It wasn't the most rigorous of studies but it showed that somewhere around 90% of men and 30% of women are incapable of keeping themselves from viewing porn for two or more weeks (as I recall they found 10 days was when most people break down.) If you're incapable of not doing it, then you're addicted to it.
But that's besides the point. I'm not proposing that porn should be banned anymore than alcohol is. I am saying that viewing porn shouldn't be something that you can easily accidentally do. When I download an app from the app store, I should be confident that opening the app and tapping on something labeled a "staff pick" won't be porn. I should have to actively want and seek it out.
And that's precisely where I stopped reading. I can't believe there are actually people thinking this or even taking bs like this seriously outside of Iran or something. Really baffles me.Internet pornography is the new crack cocaine, leading to addiction, misogyny, pedophilia, boob jobs and erectile dysfunction, according to clinicians and researchers testifying before a Senate committee Thursday.

Three minutes?If you don't think being addicted is a problem, consider the amount of extra time you wish you had each day vs. the amount of time spent watching porn.
Why don't you Google Porn-Induced Sexual Dysfunction and educate yourself before spouting off about the Iranian Revolution.
Because I don't know anybody with this Dysfunction, there are worse problems in the world. And it's not Apple's job to fix this.
