It’s Time to Declare War Against Apple’s Censorship The App Store censorship horse may have been beaten to death, but mainstream German media—whose iPhone applications have been censored by Apple because of its content—are not surrendering. I’m glad. In fact, I hope they win this war. The censorship problem is not only about the 5,000 titillating apps that fell down in flamesafter Apple’s latest puritanic raid. Except for apps from well known slippery-when-wet publishing houses like Playboy, that raid closed the smutty graphic category entirely. The censorship problem goes a lot deeper than that, and it has affected mainstream publications already.
