Apple May Loosen Restrictions With iPhone 3.0

Posted by kdawson on from the minimallly-invasive dept.

mr100percent writes "Apple rejected the iPhone aggregator app Newspapers because of a topless photo in one of the app's subscribed-to papers. In the rejection message, Apple noted that Parental Controls have been announced for iPhone OS 3.0, adding that it 'would be appropriate to resubmit your application for review once this feature is available.' Rumor sites are speculating that Apple will relax their content restrictions once the 3.0 update puts parental controls in place. This may mean that apps like NIN will be allowed in the future."

      I know! Why does everyone have a problem with 'parental controls'.

      The "slippery slope" — first you make them live in the ghetto, then you send them to the camps, then you send them to the showers.

    Apple is rumored to possibly, maybe, perhaps, do something, largely inconsequential with a version release of an equally unimportant product embraced only by fanboys, according to unconfirmed rumors by unknown sources!
