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.
