There is a new day dawning right now for iPhone users — at least, those operating in the European Union. Last year, Apple finally responded to its obligations under the Digital Markets Act by allowing iPhone owners in Europe to install alternate app stores on their devices without needing to jailbreak. It wasn’t long after that historic step that we saw the first app store to take advantage of this access emerge, with AltStore PAL rising to new heights of legitimacy. Now it’s time for third-party iOS app stores to cross another critical threshold: the first Apple-reviewed porn app.

When Apple agreed to support alternate app stores, it shared a process called Notarization, wherein the company would review apps for security and privacy concerns, but wouldn’t subject them to the same sort of content oversight as it does with the company’s own App Store. Now AltStore announces on Mastodon that an app called Hot Tub has passed Notarization approval as the first iPhone app for finding and viewing adult content (via TechCrunch).

It was really only going to be a matter of time before we crossed this threshold, as with iOS now supporting alternate app stores in the EU, Apple no longer has the same sort of moral oversight it enforces upon its ecosystem in other markets. And although both Hot Tub and AltStore have existed prior to Apple opening up access in this way, it’s still a bit of a hoot to finally see a reasonably mainstream approach to getting a porn app on your iPhone.

Pass legislation force Apple to allow apps will have these mah.

 

Lawmakers won't go back on it - so next step will be having the apps / websites w/ paid pr0n to ID and authenticate the users via some national / citizenship ID :haha:

 

Want individuals to be responsible, then should have companies pass responsibility to them mah
