  • The PTC bullies Apple with other organizations

    Posted by admin on March 10th, 2010 and filed under organizations | 25 Comments »

    Thats right, they are happy that Apple has gotten rid of a bunch of apps that they found in the app store. It appears that they do not realize that there are parental controls on the iPhone/iPod Touch where users can block out content themselves. But of course, that is no good enough for them. They are all about censorship. Here are the links to the articles:

      You can upload as much as you want (FOR FREE!) in image and video format to your iPhone, or jailbreak it (though I don’t see what the point is in allowing an application access to your phone just to look at some porn, especially a jailbroken one)

      I honestly can’t see what Apple is doing. This is a huge market, and there’s a lot of money to be made. Why would they just abandon this for no reason? Maybe they are pulling it until the Adult Apps section comes out?

      It’s funny how junosden talks about bullying. Maybe he should look up the definition of cyberspace bullying?

      No criticism of your video intended. It needed saying.

      But John Gilmore made the point far more succinctly in 1993: “The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.”

      It appears that iPhone users also interpret censorship as damage…

      Think what PTC is saying about Apple iPhone is funny. You should see what they said about the V-Chip.

      8:27 – 8:35 of course it’s nowhere near it. When you charge double to quintuple price for everything it’s natural for the masses to avoid your brand.

      I wouldn’t call that funny. I think scary is a more appropriate term.

      Yay for censorship. LOL. And what’s really funny is that most people actually subscribe to that statement.

      I wonder if they either plan on going after other phone manufacturers with app stores (Google, RIM, Microsoft) and tell the same thing or go after telecom companies for not allowing filters on the mobile web browsers. If they go after the telecoms, they are going to have a shitstorm on their hands.

      Leave it up to lazy parents to ban everything rather than talk to their kids about reality.
