Perhaps the few who know that at the start of the software store, Apple was not banning porn or apps containing nudity, but entering.Steve Jobs“These apps are banned from the software store,” he said.
"Whoever wants porn apps to buy an Android phone"
And when it was asked "Steve JobsBy technical blogger, Ryan Tate, is it not the freedom for the user to download the applications he likes? ”Steve Jobs’s response, this has nothing to do with freedom, but rather it is about Apple trying to do the right thing for its users. “
With the beginnings of application stores in the world of technology, "Steve Jobs" not only saved Apple with this decision and made it a company that every family can trust, but also saved an entire generation from exposure to this harmful content, and now all technology companies know that this decision made by "Steve Jobs" It was a correct decision, and even Google now applies laws to ban porn applications (we know that the matter is not strictly enforced like Apple and this is due to the nature of the Google Store, but there are laws now with various technology companies that own app stores that prohibit any pornographic content. "
Will porn and nudity apps return to the Apple store?
In a letter from Apple to the developers that was sent in the previous days, which read with the action:
Dear developer,
In an effort to open up additional opportunities for developers, we worked with the government of the Republic of Korea to make more apps available on the Apple Store in the Republic of Korea. To ensure our global age rating system continues to help make the Apple Store safe for children, apps that feature frequent gambling ages 17 or older will be graded in all countries and regions beginning August 20, 2019.If your app meets at least one of the criteria below, you can submit it on the App Store in the Republic of Korea for users 19 years of age or older.
● The apps are in the “Casino” sub-category with an age rating of 17+
● Applications in the games and entertainment categories with the following frequent content:
• Gambling
• Sexual or nudity
Alcohol, tobacco or drug abuse
Realistic violence
Apple's message has ended, and some understood from this message that Apple has the intention, after adding new age categories, to allow apps that contain gambling, sexual content, nudity, alcohol, tobacco, or realistic violence, and this is not true, and this is not what Apple has made clear and so far, no change. In Apple's clear policy towards this content, which is to prevent it, but some countries, such as the Republic of Korea, had objections to the existence of gaming applications that simulate gambling, and from here, Apple decided to work with the government of the Republic of Korea and add global classifications to provide more applications in countries that adopt global age classifications.
Foreign and international companies have their own standards
As Muslim peoples, of course, we have different standards and customs that differ from some peoples of the world, and it is up to us and the responsibility lies on us to protect our children, and for example, infrequent nudity or some applications that display scenes of immodest women may not be considered pornographic content for most companies, while this matter is not Acceptable to us, some do not think that this ban may make application stores completely safe for our children and youth, but the standards differ, and some of you know the content that is shown on YouTube, as well as the content of broadcast companies such as Netflix, this content, although it is classified for ages 12 and younger, is completely unsuitable for us And there should be parental control over this content.
