First of all, I would say that it is not "too easy" to stumble upon the porn. I would bet that nobody here even knew it was there until this thread was made.

It was actually ridiculously easy to stumble across it. When I first saw it, it was near the top of the photosynth list. It appears to have move down the list. The library icons give it away.

Yes... evidence... I actually would like SOME proof. A blurred picture would suffice.

This is a bit disturbing, finding such things in specified folders. If there were one picture misplaced somewhere in a sea of perfectly PG, then I could understand... But TWO FOLDERS?

That is kind of the point. I can't imagine any adult with young kids not knowing there is porn on the internet.

But I do think they would let their young child browse seadragon not knowing there is porn in the libraries. If that content is going to be allowed, it should be disclosed to users.

I don't have a problem with it being there but people should be made aware that it is accessible through the app.

The folders appear to be gone, but I can attest to the OP's claim, there was porn on there.
This is the beauty of it all though, it being hosted on their servers means the folders can vanish without rhyme, reason, or warning.

I took screen captures, but im not sure if macrumors would allow any linking to that stuff to show the iPhone or iPod touch impared.

Confirmed, they have disappeared. What a coincidence that they disappeared soon after the thread what created. Coincidence?:confused:

Not to be too much of a stickler about things but....

When did nude photography become "porn"?

Ah: nevermind, I went into another library and there is some of what qualifies for the latter there.

Exactly. I haven't looked yet, but is this "hardcore" porn? If not, then it's likely just art. There are many professional photography websites that have nude photos and this is socially acceptable and it is not porn.

Even if it is porn, what's the BFD? Porn has been available through Safari since day one.

The Micro$oft monster strikes again... Someones going to have to answer for this

What's there to answer? There's plenty of photos of naked women on the internet. Is Apple going to slap someone's wrist for allowing Safari to be on the iPhone?

i wouldn't call it "porn" really, but it's definitely not artistic nude photography. there were a few of women doing things to men

Porn: the depiction of erotic behavior (as in pictures or writing) intended to cause sexual excitement

Ya know, this thread is a big steaming pile of "Who Cares". Yay I can use Seadragon to view porn...woo hoo. I get the idea of protecting young kids, but surprisingly more often than not they know more about this stuff than their parents do. It's just a new generation.

Back before the Internets, people grew up looking at nasty African bush in National Geographic, and then it was finding those great reel-to-reel pornos, or the audio porn, and then VHS came out...yeah!

We're going to raise a nation of kids who don't know what sex is or what boobies are. Ah who am I kidding, most parents want it that way to protect their innocent Johnny or Julie.
