I doubt that I ordinarily agree with Jobs on many political issues, but he is a remarkable and serious person. He has simply out-thought other executives in the tech field. He is right about porno. Apple products come with parental controls, which can be set by parents to block dangerous websites.
If Jobs has a sense of the harm and the degradation associated with porn, he is showing good instincts. Someone who has a hand in creating beautiful devices and good software does not wish it to be used for filth. It may be difficult to control what people do with your creation, but at least you can take a stand.
Well said.

It's basically a "good business decision" by Steve Jobs. He knows that it's the average and normal American that buys Apple products. And for those who are overseas, he also knows that they don't want their kids polluted either.
Now, whatever his political ideas are, he basically does not let them get in the way of making good products and also making them so that the majority of the average American will be glad to buy them and have their own familie use them.
Jobs is not going to push "political agendas" through the products that are being sold. He's knows what Americans thinks about this, and he's managing Apple and its products, in that frame of mind.
These are products that families are glad to use and which can be used in schools.
I think a lot of "complainers" are upset that their "agendas" can't be promoted through Apple and their products (like the "porn agenda" for one ...).
