In 2010, then Steve Jobs said that the removal of the adult content from iPhone was a “moral responsibility” from Apple. Quickly forward about 15 years, things are somewhat different!

An apple for her Fears related to new content of the content available on IPHONE devices in the European Union, arousing the pretext that digital policies in the region have eaten consumer confidence on its platform.

As you know (if you are on iOS), Apple has been strictly controlled for applications that can be downloaded through its application store. When the store was launched in 2008, the company placed itself as a gatekeeper, with CEO at the time Steve Jobs In 2010, confirmation that restricting explicit content was of utmost importance.

However, Apple’s ability to implement such policies changed after the European Union adopted the DVA law in 2022, which is what Apple requires the support of alternative application stores.

One of the third -party markets, Altstore, started distributing an application called Hot Tub, which enhances itself as a special and safe way to browse the content of adults.

Apple strongly opposed this development, saying that the applications of this type can pose safety risks to users, especially the palace. The company is concerned that these offers will weaken consumer confidence in its ecosystem.

According to ALTSTORE received financial support from Epic Games, the company behind the famous video game Fortnite, which participated in legal battles with Apple due to anti -monopoly issues. He claimed that the Epic Games’ financing helped in the Apple’s Altstore coverage fees on the third -party applications market, which is currently under investigation by the European Union organizers.

Although Apple was required to allow the application to be distributed under European Union regulations, it still applies a basic safety review known as “documentation”. This process verifies the potential cybersecurity threats such as malware, but it does not include the evaluation of the application content. It follows Apple documentation in the hot bathtub, publicly described as “the first content of adult adults on Apple”. Apple quickly rejected this claim, saying that she does not agree to the application and will never allow her in her application store. The company explained that the European Commission was obligated to allow the presence of the application, despite its objections.

Tim Sweeney, CEO of EPIC Games, has burdened to the controversy, defending DMA, on the pretext that Apple has long used its position as a gateway to the oppression of the competition. He emphasized that while his company had supported the laws that opened iPhone for competing app stores, the Epic Games itself does not carry a hot bath or any similar content.

What a chaos, huh?
