There's nothing inherently unethical about guns either, what's your point?
Do you genuinely view the current landscape of porn as ethical, or are you merely living in a fantasy world?

“Kids” also perform natural obligations whether you realize it or not. It’s natural. It’s exploring. Its discovery. It’s about learning and growing
Say what you want, but I am sure a fair share of Apple users outside the EU now think that alternative app stores are not such a bad idea after all.
Imagine they’d allow the same for te Vision Pro.
They might actually sell a couple of them.

There's a reason adult stores ID
Yes -- it's almost like the larger point is that users should be able to do what they'd like to do with their own devices
Apple makes and sells things, but they have no business trying to restrict what device owners do with them
I think you mean to say the adoption rate will get a real rise.Now the adoption rate should skyrocket
You're mixing up the responsible parties here ... nobody is saying "give unrestricted porn to kids"
The issue is that Apple is not the party that should be getting involved here
Lovely. As if there aren't enough avenues to give your hands a workout.
Thank god this bs isn't available in the US

Fascinating display of some holier than thou thinking in here
I don't see anyone clamoring for a ban on Safari (or other web browsers)
Ladies and Gentlemen ... corporations are not here to be moral police

Looking forward to WWDC 2025.

I am not interested in this at all...Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!
Because it’s not Reddit’s sole purpose I guess?
Do “they” ID them in adult online sites/stores? Big difference between brick and mortar stores and online sites.
While I don't really have an opinion on this (other than that I still think forcing Apple to offer alternate app stores is a ridiculous overreach when they have 25% of the market in the EU), I do think there is a difference between "using Safari to access a website and using Apple's intellectual property to specifically serve this type of content; particularly when I suspect a large swath of the general public thinks that Apple has "endorsed" any app on the App Store.
(And yes, I understand using Safari to access porn is also using Apple's IP to access porn, but I think there is a difference)
I certainly wouldn't download such a thing either. No sir! But, umm, they should be available though, because I'm sure some people would like it, I guess?
They [websites in affected states/localities] do where it's legally mandated. Or they pull their services from the region, which while they're free to do, I find quite telling.
So they ID where it's legally mandated or they pull their services from the region
What is the issue?
Isn't that exactly how one should behave in jurisdictions?
Just like how Apple has complied with the rules set out by the EU to operate within that region
Hate to break it to you, but anyone with a computer can install AltStore. https://altstore.io/
Where did I say there's an issue? Did I not say they're free to vacate a region?
I'm aware, but I suspect those who don't understand Apple hasn't endorsed every app on the App Store outside of "doesn't have malware" might also not get the difference.
Again, I don't have a strong opinion on this one, outside of Apple shouldn't have to offer alternate app stores in the first place, but that shipped has long sailed in the EU unless Big Tech can convince POTUS that scrapping the DMA is what the EU has to do to avoid the wrath of tariffs.
Somehow I find it hilarious that MR added a link to join the beta.
If I remember correctly, that was an issue and Reddit was almost removed from the store. They compromised by requiring you to agree that you are 18+ on the reddit website to enable it in the app.
I don't use Reddit so way for me to verify.
