Hmm, when Jobs expands the FCC and has them control all the content we have access to, some people might complain about it. I expect his response would be: "If you want porn, go to Another Country"

Really, I don't care too much about Apple restricting their customers freedom, because people can choose not to use their products. What I think is loathsome is when they try to argue that jailbreaking is illegal. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2009/02/apple-says-jailbreakin...

Basically, Apple's position is that it's not your computer. No blog post about quality of content for the user can get around this. I also haven't read anything which addressed the fact that Apple could have an app store of approved content, while allowing their customers who use Apple's computers to install unapproved apps.

Such an anti-freedom outlook (we must restrict your freedom for your own good) seems like a terrible quality for an American president.
