But it still smacks of technological fascism. It is like a TV that won’t broadcast Bravo or a pen that won’t sketch Venus de Milo. But that seems to work for the Thought Police here.

I won't buy from those who impose their morals on me. I love my iPhone but that can change at any time. It's not whether I like porn or not..it is somebody else telling me what I can or cannot view.

You have but to read the invective being hurled at me to see how our fellow “conservatives” view freedom. I am pleased to see that some of us understand what liberty means.

Apple is not restricting the websites that its users can go to. A user can go to any website on an iMac, MacBook, iPhone, iPod, or iPad. What Jobs is talking about is the programs in the App Store. The App Store in iTunes is not going to sell porno applications. Walgreens does not sell hardcore porno magazines, but I don't feel like they are restricting my freedom when I go there to buy a tube of toothpaste.

Jobs is not telling you what you can and cannot view... he owns a store and is telling you he will not sell pornography in his store. Simple. You want to require that he sell it in his store.
