9to5Mac: “Apple has provided a statement, specifically regarding the dishonest endorsement. “We are deeply concerned about the safety risks that hardcore porn apps of this type create for EU users, especially kids,” Apple says. “This app and others like it will undermine consumer trust and confidence in our ecosystem that we have worked for more than a decade to make the best in the world. Contrary to the false statements made by the marketplace developer, we certainly do not approve of this app and would never offer it in our App Store. The truth is that we are required by the European Commission to allow it to be distributed by marketplace operators like AltStore and Epic who may not share our concerns for user safety.” “

Apple’s line of rhetoric here which agitates the supposed safety of children and blankets the entirety of porn and sexual contents with the term “hardcore porn” is exactly the kind of language you’d expect to hear from the mouths of conservative politicians and far-right extremists when they try to justify the eradication and persecution of marginalized groups online.
This encompasses a wide range of marginalized communities, from LGBT people, to sex workers themselves, who seldom live in anything other than deeply precarious conditions throughout their lives.
