I hope the App Store reviewers look over the Safari app. You can do the same thing, but there's no default safe search!! Scandalous!

It's funny how this comment comes up in this discussion.

It's not about Safari also being able to surf porn sites, it's about Apple wanting to protect the integrity of their parental controls.

If I've disabled mature apps as well as Safari on a child's iOS device, should I now worry that they can see mature content using 500px? Those parental controls are there for a reason and rely on accurate ratings for apps.

Yes, sucks that everything with web access gets a mature rating, but you must see how that's the point, right?

Safari is disabled on the same screen install of apps that allow nudity is disabled on (General -> Restrictions).

500px rated their app 4+, when their app should have been 12+ or 17+ by appstore rules.
