Following public criticism , Apple has pulled the pornographic app Hottest Girls from the App Store. The title was thought to be the first to include full or partial nudity, along with a 17+ rating for “Frequent/Intense Sexual Content or Nudity.” The app developer and Apple were blasted by organizations such as MediaMarch , a group that believes pornography inspires crimes such as rape and murder. “It is being packaged in a tempting way and will be disastrous for youngsters who are not equipped to deal with such content,” MediaMarch co-founder Miranda Suit told MailOnline . Apple is expected to loosen restrictions on App Store content, as the iPhone 3.0 firmware integrates parental controls. The company has rejected a number of apps due to offensive language. A Tweetie update was halted due to foul language in the search results, while the e-book reader Eucalyptus was initially rejected because of links to Project Gutenberg which offers the Kama Sutra . Apple eventually reversed course and approved both titles. Filed under : Apple Other story tags : App Store Original source: feeds.macnn.com , delivered by rss-farm.ru
