Since the arrival of Apple’s iPad, there’s been a really interesting discussion going on about how Apple is not allowing adult content apps on their new beloved tablet. This video came out from the intiative Freedom from Porn and it shows a guerrilla action demanding for the true freedom of access to any contents. Any company should not be able to decide on whether we should or shouldn’t watch, by hoarding the technology, speacilly considering that we can always set up parental control in any computer or tablet. Who’s going to decide, then, what is porn and what isn’t? (And, by the way, why there’s not such concern with violent content?) This post in Gawker talks about it and there’s a comment I totally agree with: : “paul verlaine, guillaume apollinaire, jean genet, henry miller, claude cahun, jack smith, andy warhol, william burroughs, allen ginsberg, bernardo bertolucci, robert mapplethorpe, jeff koons, are just a few of the artists whose work has been deemed pornographic and sometimes destroyed by the Powers That Be… What kind of “right” freedom does Jobs have in mind? Ahmadinejad’s?”
