    I think the important question is, can everyone still play games that allow me to pretend to kill people?

    Did Giz hire a writer for the New York Post? That headline is just a bit incendiary.


    Sure I'm nitpicking, but honestly, everything that involves loading an image from a user technically "allows for child pornography uploads."


    An earlier poster nailed it when he asked if they would ban MMS, email and the internet as a whole.

    I think I was looking for sensational.

    @UnderLoK: agreed. The first thing I thought when they posted the picture at the top was "why would she use a picture taken with a digital camera and then save it to her iphone to use when she has a camera on her iPhone already?"


    My guess is the uploader is likely not a 15 year old girl and it's equally likely that the girl in the photo is not 15 -- that isn't to say the kids these days aren't up to no good and always messing with my azaleas, but this is likely all fake.

    NOOOOOOOOOOO Safari, the ultimate porn app, is going too! Apple is going to remove Safari from the iPhone very soon! Probably with 3.1!

    I am all about First Amendment rights and free speech, but, in the case of children, I have to applaud Apple for a ZERO tolerance policy. Not only is it the right thing to do, its the right thing to do in the eyes of shareholders and customers.


    Let kids stay kids, even if they dont want to. And for those who prey on children, KNOW that there is a special hot room in hell waitng just for you.

    @Curves: What's wrong with you? They pulled an app, not just the one (or more) pics of children.


    Removing pics of children = good idea.


    Removing entire applications just because they could theoretically be used for sending pictures of children = idiocy.


    They should ban everything from US Mail to Email to HTTP to digital cameras, and you would applaud.

    Oh, and the iPhone itself which was presumably used to facilitate the taking of the picture, the storing of the picture, and transmission of the picture? It should be banned.

    @Curves: I, myself, am a big fan of the 21st amendment and it, like the first has nothing to do with the application or it's contents or the absurdity of removing this application as if it does anything to stop this sort of thing from happening or is going to stop her from sending n00dz to people.

    Jeez, what the hell is up with kids these days? At 15, I still thought Legos and Hot Wheels cars were pretty cool.


    Then again, the same is true at 40. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong...

    I wonder how long until there's a Stickam App for the iPhone. I mean, isn't underage porn all that site is used for?

    Apple needs to drop their control of their marketplace, let the app developers take the blame, don't put yourself in the line of fire.

    And I suppose next Apple's going to ban MMS, email, and the Internet because they can all be used for kiddie porn too. Might want to ban voice calls while they're at it, since I've heard that people can sometimes talk dirty to each other. And they might be teenagers... or pretend to be.

    When asked to comment, a representative from Apple only had this to say:


    I share the concerns with every single one of our investors and customers, so I personally gave a thorough inspection of the application to make sure that Apple upholds the level of quality that we've all grown accustomed too

    "But when 15 year old girls start uploading topless photos of themselves, like the previously approved and then denied Hottest Girls app, that's when someone needs to take the app off the market."


    -and port it to Windows Mobile!

    Now that this those apps are gone, there will be no more under-age girls or boys sending n00dz anywhere ever. Forever. Problem solved.
