> you probably don't want an app on your store that allows any user to stumble onto an uncensored video of people getting decapitated. Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari will all allow any user to stumble onto those videos. People who use browsers know the risk. And the people who use LBRY also know the risk. |

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. How did you find out that lbry was largely uncensored and unmoderated?
If you showed lbry to your parents, what would they think? My bet is they'd think it is or is like YouTube. I doubt very seriously that any random person just finding out about lbry would expect to find snuff videos when they're searching for anything.
Even on an open browser, you just don't randomly bump into extreme shit on the same scale of lbry. I've run into such things maybe a dozen or so times in the decades I've been online, and then several dozen times in the year or two I used lbry.
The scale is different, and the expectation is different. People understand and expect that a browser can show you anything, and we've had parental controls on browsers for decades. Also, browsers don't host and distribute content, they allow you to access anything from anyone, and you generally have to make a conscious effort to find something.
Lbry hosts and distributes extreme content, with no real intention to moderate it. In addition, it's extremely common to accidentally run into something like a snuff video or straight up porn.
Lbry could moderate this kind of thing on their service, a browser cannot moderate the entire internet. That's what Apple is objecting to.
