I am not pro-porn, but, hey Jobs! It ain’t your call you fascist.

If someone sells me a pen and I do nude sketches that is no one’s damn business.

[Harpo Speaks]

Hey, it’s Steve Jobs. He knows what’s best for you. Like the one-button mouse.

My gawd, what will all the attractive, uneducated high school beauties do after they graduate? I mean, they have to pay their texting, piercing and tattoo bills!

[Tolsti2]

This will hurt sales to women.

[SoConPubbie]

Actually, color me impressed.

Never thought I’d hear something moral from Steve Jobs.

[CaliGangsta]

Yeah this is sure great allowing Steve Jobs to decide what I can and cannot see on my computer. When he bans Free Republic from the iPad because it’s “incendiary” or “anti-government” I’m sure it will be for my own good. In Steve Jobs I trust.

[Amadeo]

I wish ALL Apple products would eliminate access to porn.

[dead]

Who defines porn? What other categories of media will Apple censor?

Steve Jobs Says iPad Revolution Means ‘Freedom from Porn’

What a load of BS.
Steve Jobs has managed to stop the browser on the iPad from pointing at porn sites has he?
Anyone with an iPad browser can point to any porn site they want, and view any porn text, images or video they want, or read the porn in their email. They don't need no stinking apps to do it.
Steve Jobs is such a BS’er.

[Persevero]

Good on you Steve! I have a new found respect.

[Talisker]

Don't get into an argument with Jobs, especially about morality.

If you do, you'll come home to the cops raiding your house.

Peace, Love & Out.

Court Papers Reveal Apple Used Corporate Muscle Over Gizmodo Raid

I see an art project for any wannabee artist.

Ryan Tate works for Gawker which is the company that bought the lost (but perhaps technically stolen under the law) iPhone so they could write about it. I would say that Gawker is perhaps an ethically challenged company.

Tate posted the email exchange he had with Jobs on Gawker's website. If the exchange is heated, it's all from Tate's side who laces his replies with profanity. Jobs kept his responses civil and to point.

Have never understood the “Apple” thing... They are a propriety group that makes it very hard for normal people to modify or upgrade their systems. That is why I can understand the PC crowd - at least they can make changes as needed.

I’m sure that Apple folks here will counter, but really, do you have to pay so much for upgrades? It is all about proprietary business options...

I want to upgrade my PC system at will and can do so economically, can’t say the same about Apple products.

I would guess that it has become a “in thing” to own an Apple device but eventually that will fade with age...

That is why I see Apple as a younger age thing and a temporary advance into the market. It will eventually catch up with them (after all, the average age is going up and the birth rate is going down...)

“If Dylan was 20 today, how would he feel about your company? Would he think the iPad had the faintest thing to do with ‘revolution?’ Revolutions are about freedom,” Tate wrote.

We can only have one definition of the word revolution! /s

[Deagle]

Sorry, but Jobs is a joke... Sorry all you Apple fans.

[cynwoody]

Hey Stevie! The GOOG thanks you!

[omniscient]

Sounds like Steve is going a little dhimmi here. The telltale sign is when censorship is redefined as freedom, and “freedom from” replaces “freedom to.” This is the kind of proprietary “we know best” control that pervades the entire Apple philosophy.

What would happen if Jobs converted to the ROP and decided that caricatures of Mohammad were something his customers needed “freedom from?”

[Redcloak]

Porn today, FreeRepublic tomorrow? Who knows what will offend Jobs.
