If you’re throwing a seminar or training, there are witnesses that will likely reduce the chance of illegal behavior.

Unless, of course, you throw a gangbang, and Apple ends up eating 30% of the price of admission. Imagine the headline!

It would be really nice if corporate america would pull the sticks out of their asses when it comes to sexual activity

Imagine how much more fun life would be if vices were more accessible

Define "corporate America." The majority of American companies, even Disney, do whatever it takes to make money, including catering to sexual interests.

Apple is one of the few that has different standards. And some of its consumers appreciate that. There's room in the market for both views.

Most companies sprint away from actual sexual activity, or photos/videos/drawings of such. (Not books though, for some reason.)

Especially payment processors, which cause serious bottlenecks in the ability of people to pay for services online.

Apple seems to be in the majority from where I look.

Almost nobody wants their advertisement running next to porn. Almost nobody permits their services to be used for sexual activity unless said service explicitly caters to it. Disney boxes all their "adult" stuff under the Dreamworks label IIRC.

Everybody wants to be "family friendly", which means no sexy stuff. Violence? Sure. Guns? Sure. Sex? Get that filth out of my product!

Steve Jobs quotes:

“Folks who want porn can buy an android.”

“You might care more about porn when you have kids. It’s not about freedom, it’s about Apple trying to do the right thing for its users.”

TBH as much good as he did, he sounds like a pretty boring square, one of those people who liked drugs in their 20s then got married and lived the entire remainder of his life alternating between home and his suburban office.

I don’t know the guy, I’m just going based on what was reported of his work.

In general I don’t think people who consider cities like Santa Clara or Cupertino to have very good taste, despite the popularity of square American suburban living.

Some day you will have to learn to understand that not everyone thinks the way you do. In America, it's OK for people to have different views on things. In many ways it's encouraged.

I don't think Jobs would have cared if you thought he had good taste or not, or whether you think he's a "square." As for boring, it's already been widely documented in newspapers, magazines, books, and online that his short life was 1000 times more interesting than your life ever will be.

You’re talking to someone who thinks it’s lame that Steve Jobs appointed himself a censor and thought that other people he’s never met should be prohibited via products he helped design from viewing porn.

Adult humans who decide for other adult humans what they should or should not be allowed to choose to read on their own devices are lame as fuck.
