Filed under: Blogging, Apple, Social Software, iPhoneYes, we've been over the App Store approval thing a hundred times already, but never quite like this. Apple's got a pretty strong policy when it comes to nudity, right? Right? So Beauty Meter - an application that allows, hypothetically, a fifteen year old girl to share a nude pic to be rated would be totally out of the question right? You'd at least expect there to be a nudity warning if you installed an app like this. I mean, it could be a non-nude ...

... sharing application where they can upload their own photos, you're gonna get some nudity. That's fine, except for the part where I said kids. Now it's bad news for Apple. We can see how they approved the app, since it's innocent by itself (a photo sharing and uploading app).

Problem was that in some of those user-submitted images, which are not pre-screened, the female subjects were not wearing enough clothes to rate, and worse, some were or claimed to be under the age of consent. Needless to say, ...
iPhone App BeautyMeter Pulled for Underage Jailbait Porn
GEARFUSE —
... case of porn removal (so far), we can at least see the legal sense. Free iPhone app “BeautyMeter,” which was sort of like a modern version of “Hot or Not,” was pulled from the iTunes App Store shelves after teenage girls began bearing it all to bump up their ratings. Even if whoever posted these images wasn’t the actual nude girls in question and even if they happened to be 17 rather than 15, the law is the law. And jailbait is jailbait, no matter how sexy . Link
