⚖️ Apple, EU, and the Porn App Debate

The Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EU forced Apple to approve a pornography app, "Hot Tub," on its App Store via an alternative app store, AltStore PAL, sparking debate. This decision challenges Apple's content moderation policies and raises concerns about user safety, especially for children, due to the lack of robust age verification on AltStore PAL. Epic Games' support of AltStore PAL highlights the broader conflict between Apple's control over its app ecosystem and the push for greater developer freedom. The incident underscores the ongoing tension between regulatory mandates, platform control, and the potential implications for content moderation and parental controls.
