Apple Sued For Man's Porn Addiction
coolnumbr12 writes "Chris Sevier, a 36-year-old man from Tennessee, got so addicted to porn videos that his wife took his children and left him. Now he has sued Apple saying the company failed to install any filter in its devices to prevent his addiction. In a 50-page complaint, Sevier calls Apple a 'silent poisoner' responsible for the proliferation of 'arousal addiction, sex trafficking, prostitution, and countless numbers of destroyed lives.' Sevier is seeking damages from Apple, but said he we will drop the lawsuit if Apple agrees to sell devices with a 'safe mode.'"
Normally, I'm not this paranoid, but this reads like a false flag operation by some religious group looking to get filters installed by default. At the very least, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that they're helping fund this insane lawsuit.
Cynical Idealist
pr0n looks for YOU!
Remove the battery. Your device is now configured in safe mode. Unless you are disturbed by a black screen the device is now configured not to present offensive material.
Any material is possible to be a problem to someone. As "safe mode" cannot be sufficiently defined yet leave the device with any function at all "safe mode" is impossible".
What was he supposed to do? It's not his fault Apple makes such sexy hardware.
There's no -1 for "I don't get it."
Sevier is seeking damages from Apple, but said he we will drop the lawsuit if Apple agrees to sell devices with a 'safe mode.'"
Apple machines do come with a safe mode. Here is the relevant documentation (though primarily geared toward leaving safe mode).
If this continues, every item sold within the US is going to have a 89-page disclaimer. It is bad enough that insulated cups have warnings about the contents being hot, now electronic devices need to have a disclaimer about the internet having pornography? This guy is literally, blaming the messenger (company that makes the device), for this his own actions and lack of self-control. Plenty of people can use the internet and even peruse sexual content without having their lives destroyed.
Maybe he should have tried getting a life and setting his priorities, instead of watching the Farrah Abraham video.

...McDonald's for making me fat. They have failed to install a filter to prevent me from installing unhealthy food into my body.
That's what happens when you don't have English Rule (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_rule_%28attorney%27s_fees%29), and you have personal bankruptcy.
There lawsuits doesn't happen in Europe for these 2 exact reasons, you'll have to pay the attorney fee's if you lose, so you have something at stake as well.
So others are to blame for his addictions now?

whenever my wife does this, i use beer and sports as my behavior modifier.

A safe mode strikes me as something that has absolutely nothing to do with his situation. Would he have handed it to his wife and said "could you please enable safe mode on this iPad and not tell me the password to remove it?" Sure, that would help with kids, but with an adult who bought the device and theoretically manages it?
This smells of the guy trying to provide an option that makes it sound like he's not in it just for the money, but which you can be pretty sure the company is not going to do. Apple isn't likely to put tons of development into something like that just based on this lawsuit. So he gets to feel like he's suing for a good reason, when he's really just hoping for a settlement somewhere below the cost for Apple to implement a "safe mode".
My mac pro is shiny, pure and innocent. I want to keep it that way. If I want to watch porn i use the dirty old dell in the garage. Now that dell is a big whore.
Sevier is seeking damages from Apple, but said he we will drop the lawsuit if Apple agrees to sell devices with a 'RETARD mode.'"
There, fixed that for you.
Does he want hammers with a "safe mode" that prevents you from hitting his thumb? Does he want cars that have a mode that prevent you from turning without using your blinker? Does he want a diaper and a baby bottle to carry with him all day long because he's obviously too fucking irresponsible to be a functioning adult?
This is what you get when you construct a society that encourages people to blame others for every action they take which has any negative consequences.
modded "overrated" by mistake, undoing it ...
I would like to start a petition such that anyone found incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions should hear by no longer be a citizen of this country. they should loose voting rights, any rights to healthcare and any support from the government. i think its a fair statement to state that true citizenry requires the person in question to accept responsibility for their own choices and it also requires said person to hold other people to the responsibility of their choices.
For several years, pornography ruled my life. I lost my family over it. I lost my self respect over it. It was causing such deep depression that I nearly lost my life over it. Being in IT, I could get around any filters. If I wanted porn online, I found porn online. Simple as that. I finally broke my addiction to it and got my life back together. So, I feel the pain of the person who TFA speaks of.
That all being said...
This. Is. Stupid. Why not just sue The Internetz and your ISP and your carrier and every person who's ever produced pornography, and Samsung for making iPhone screens and... you get the point.
Stopping the addiction does not rely on Apple blocking porn on your iPhone. It involves taking responsibility, getting help, and STOPPING.
Works every time.
If he can set good precedent, then I'll get rich from the thumb carpel tunnel that I received from my IPhone ....
He probably turned to it because she was using/withholding sex as a behavior modifier (or is grossly overweight).
Probably? What's the basis for that assessment?
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
Judge laughs him out of court and nothing changes.
While I think he's completely crazy to blame his addiction on Apple, the 'Safe-Mode' is not an altogether bad idea. Wouldn't it be nice to know your kids new MacBook had sex simply turned off?
It would take them days, perhaps even weeks to find a way to circumnavigate the measure. Just think how much our kids could learn about BSD! The really aspirational ones might even learn to cover their tracks with a terminal and Vim!
Brought to you by Carl's Junior.
Assuming that Safe Mode is a mode that the owner can turn off and on, isn't that just the same as just not going to the porn sites? At least if you are the owner and an adult and not playing the "think of the children" game?
His offer sounds like he either wants to impose his values on others, or he knows that such "safe surfing" isn't really technically feasible so he can make to offer to sound like he's a decent guy rather than a pervert trying to profit big.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
From TFA
started when he “accidentally” replaced the “a-c-e” in Facebook with a “u-c-k.”
and
adding that until he got the MacBook, he had never seen porn of any kind or been to a strip club or sex shop.

"We at Apple make the most spank-o-licious computer on the market"
Blaming a device maker for your actions with it shows a complete lack of self-responsibility and requires a child-like understanding of one's own self-control. I can see this guy testifying before Congress or whomever in favor of legal requirements for some sort of restricted mode, because he can't control himself, so everyone else should have to bear a burden of increased cost. A potential legal requirement would be easily met by Apple, but FOSS could be further limited by such laws, as not meeting requirements for schools, etc.
This is different from accessibility requirements, since the folks who need those cannot simply choose to see/hear. All this guy had to do was put the infernal device down.
That's true, however, society condones her passive aggressive behavior because she's assumed 'oppressed' while demonizing your assertive behavior because you're an assumed oppressor. Welcome to identity politics. If she chose, she could use your tactic as 'evidence' that you aren't 'committed' and file fault divorce papers, leaving you with the bills, child support, and vaginamony. There's already precedent set that such behavior is considered 'abuse', but of course, only for your behavior, not hers.
What's with the redundancy in the headline?

his excuse is that he typoed facebook as fuckbook. 99.999% chance he was looking for some bitch to fuck - so the complaint is religious to the max to hide that he is that kind of a guy who had a wife and went on to look for sex dates on the internets...
I mean, who the fuck goes to fuckbook.com for porno and get real, the guy claimed he had never seen a pornographic image in his life in which case he probably got a hard on from evening news and wanked to mtv which doesn't sound sensible at all.

Cars enable homicide, so ban cars
Apple enables porn, so ban Apple
Yep. Seems like the correct logic for progress as a species.

He probably turned to it because she was using/withholding sex as a behavior modifier (or is grossly overweight).
Or she could just no longer be attracted to you anymore. I mean, who finds bitterness and disdain for your gender attractive in a sexual partner?
Or was I being unfair in assuming that you're speaking from personal experience here? (I doubt it.)
Real problem: Not taking responsibility for own actions; blaming others
Verdict: Grow up; get a life.
And I bet that 50 page complaint was written left-handed.

WTF is going on with people these days? It seems over the last decade or so, our actual civil liberties - you know, the right to free expression, bearing arms, freedom from search/seizure without warrant - seem to be slowly fading out, while a brand new set of perceived rights is taking their place. Seriously, what the fuck is up with that?
FWIW, there is no such thing as:
the Right to Not be Offended
the Right to Determine What Rights Other People Have
the Right to Feel Safe
An enigma, wrapped in a riddle, shrouded in bacon and cheese
This is the most absurd lawsuit I've heard of in some time. It's like suing Stop & Shop for selling beer, saying that it caused one's alcoholism.
Sevier claims that his addiction started when he “accidentally” replaced the “a-c-e” in Facebook with a “u-c-k.” Sevier said this F***book site “appealed to his biological sensibilities as a male,” and he started to prefer the images on the screen to his own wife.
Man, that happens to me all the time. One time, I reached for the skim milk and accidentally drank a 40oz bottle of vodka.
Another time, I was making a peanut butter sandwich and accidentally injected heroin into an artery.
Someone should pay!
Life needs more saving throws.
This is the kind of lawsuit that would be laughed away in the courts in Canada on the first date in court. Yet Americans have convinced themselves that this determination can only properly be done after tens of thousands of lawyer fees have been racked up.
According to this comment in the ArsTechnica discussion of their report on this story, the plantiff is actually a suspended lawyer who was formerly deployed and is now dealing with mental illness.
... that's the only explanation that makes any sense.
Maybe the commenter is taking the piss, but really
So your reaction to people assuming men are at fault is to assume women at fault and you think that is a better equivalent? What happened to not assuming anything when little to no information was given... even though in this case there is some information like the guy sounds like an idiot.

At the end of this article, it notes that Chris Sevier has been placed on disability inactive status by order of the Tennessee Supreme Court due to “mental infirmity or illness.”
Move along, no sig to see here.
OSX comes with a parental controls option. When he came home I suppose he was supposed to say "Honey, don't forget to make your self admin so that you can turn on parental controls and block all the porn sites that I like".
Likewise, if you are fat, you can sue the manufacturer of your fork for not installing anything to prevent over eating. What happened to all that 'personal responsibility' America crows about?

He should not have access to any computing device, not even a calculator.
If a previous user had visited that URL, and "facebook" was never visited on that phone, I would expect the auto-fill to do that.
I've accidentally gone to site "A" instead of site "B" in my web browser if my most recent visit was to site "A" and they both start with the same letter and I'm not paying attention.
In any case, it's not the web browser publisher's fault, it's mine for not watching what I'm doing.

Is apple specifically marketing to people with porn problems? To people with self-control issues? To kids? To demographics groups known to have high rates of porn- or self-control problems?
If not, their only "duties to protect the user from harm when using the product as designed" are
If Apple used shoddy batteries that caught fire on more than a very infrequent basis or if they didn't cause the device to shut off well before the battery was drained to the point of requiring a service call, then it would be reasonable for the government or courts to strong-arm them into changing their design.
But allowing a user to go astray through a typo while web-browsing is TYPICALLY not a high-cost failure. In fact, the cost of preventing such failures is, on the whole, higher than the cost of the occasional typo.

Regarding legal liability for porn: If Apple starts encouraging employees start hanging around Junior High Schools offering "no blocking, and we won't tell your parents" iPhones out of their trenchcoats then we'll have a problem. Until then, carry on.

How? People are already replacing the devil with Apple in the "The ........ make me do it" sentence.
It's easy to believe that there's a massive "junk lawsuit" problem in America when we see a news story about ridiculous lawsuits like this but never see the follow up news story where a judge looks at the lawsuit, laughs, and throws it out. The funny thing is, he's probably trying to file a ridiculous lawsuit because of all the other ridiculous lawsuits he's seen in the media that ultimately arrive at nothingness but get reported on anyway.
If God didn't want there to be porn he/she wouldn't have created it.
You don't see a three headed chicken or a duck that walks on its wings.
Or an square chilly pepper. Its because God didn't want them.
But porn, its his/her creation so it must be good and something God wants
us to have. So isn't Apple doing Gods work?
Where's his wife? I'll take her! She'll NEVER discover MY porn!
Let's add that the US media run the most shocking, bizarre, or outrage-causing stories they can find, regardless of the actual importance of the events. Since our population is over 300 million, you can manage to find a couple of those stories every day if you have thousands of reporters scouring the country. Then they harp on those stories for weeks. This gives the impression that everyone in the USA is some kind of freak.
What disturbs me is the number of people here who believe it -- who carry a gun because they actually believe they'll get attacked, or who think they'll get sued if someone spills hot coffee.
So perhaps stupid lawsuits like this occur (rarely) in other countries as well, but the media don't deem them newsworthy so you don't hear about them.
[Sir Garlon] is the marvellest knight that is now living, for he destroyeth many good knights, for he goeth invisible.
So you jerked off to porn until your dick bled - and STILL kept going? I would consider that to be an addiction.
Or you really liked porn because you are bored shitless with your life or your wife has turned into a completely unattractive fat pig?
I knew a guy l like that. He married this hottie who blimped out after a couple of years of marriage and now he has to watch a bit of porn just to do her.
Are you happy to see me or is that an apple on your laptop?
No brain, no pain.
Any idiot can sue for absolutely anything. I can sue my chair manufacturer for making me fat because it's so comfy. Now, if someone *wins* one of these ridiculous suites, THAT is news!
I swear to God...I swear to God! That is NOT how you treat your human!
I think it is going to be relatively simple for Apple's legal team to demonstrate that the sequence "a-c-e" comes nowhere close to "u-c-k". On that note, Chris Sevier sounds like a real asshole.
How could that possibly work? He's actively looking for pr0n, so he'd simply turn off any controls that inhibit that.
Is he going to sue his lawyer for not stopping him from becoming a huge douche?
So, this is like suing your auto maker for the car you drove to the nearest hooker. Whatever, man. Stop blaming others for your mess.
I wonder how far that strategy will work with a speeding ticket, lets just call it entrapment that they designed a car that knowning violates the law when a simple technical solution could be implemented to make the car never exceed the posted limit.
In all seriousness though, I'd pay $2k to $3k extra for a button in a car that you could push to make it cruise exactly at the posted limit, as well as never exceed the limit going down hills, and it logs sensor data that can be used in court. It won't happen however, these fine only violations are what law enforcement calls their bread and butter.

You know I half-lost a girlfriend because of porn and I didn't sue Microsoft. Then again I broke up with her. Also I'm a fucking adult and not a giant baby in diapers.
Google put in mandatory safe search for everyone at the request of absolutely nobody, so I'm sure Apple has something like that up its sleeve, too.
What are the qualifications for it to be considered an "addiction?"
I'd assume taking precedence over your job/relationship/family? While I don't doubt many I know view such material on a regular basis, they're not likely sneaking out for a dirty mag instead of a smoke-break, or missing junior's baseball game.
So what does it mean to be suspended? I suppose it only means he can't sue on the behalf of other people.
when i saw "safe mode" i thought about Windows safe mode. Press F8 to enter safe mode. gah, i've been using Windows too long. lol
Mr. Chris Sevier meant a browser mode that applied filters to search engines and blocked adult websites.
so Mr. Chris Sevier actually wrote a fifty page complaint. wow, that is a long complaint.

I hate everything about Apple but I hope their lawyers give this guy what he has comming and let it serve as a warning to any future nutcases who persuit the same.
Then the computer goes crazy! and downloads hundreds of things you never explicitly asked for. Some are porn. Some are ads. Some are probably viruses. And some are more text to download more more more. 1 click = 100s of downloads.
It is a degenerate disease.
It's not Apple's fault your addicted to porn, it's yours. When will people stop blaming everyone else and just accept they are weak, sorry excuses for humans. For instance, alcoholics claiming they have a disease or smokers claiming they didn't mean become hooked. Just accept the fact that if you have an addiction and it starts over taking your life that you're just a sorry example of a human being. It's not Apple's fault or the beer company's or the cigarette company's or anyone else, it's yours. The simple and real truth is, is that you can quit any addiction you have by will power. If you find something overtaking your life and IT IS NOT DUE TO A CHEMICAL IMBALANCE!!!!!!! then you just have to stop doing that thing. If you find yourself unable to stop under your own will then seek immediate help and give it up. The fact is company's and substances are not responsible for causing addiction, a person weak and sorry self control is. This man is addicted to porn because he wants to be just like a smoker chooses to be smoke and an alcoholic chooses to drink. Stop blaming everyone else, you're simply a weak person and you need to accept that!
No one should be surprised when he wins a large judgment!
That's really is how it begins. http://www.scribd.com/doc/153168246/Chris-Sevier-Apple-Complaint
Said the person who didn't bother with prenups because he knew his wife-to-be's lawyer would never try to take him for a percentage of everything he had.
being a porn addict must be in his character, perhaps influenced by his neurological functioning and DNA. he should embrace it, instead of treating it like it's a problem. he lost his kids and shit, so what? move on, find a whore who's equally into porn as you are.. and enjoy your porn without restriction, because you are what you are, dude. apple isn't going to change or fix that.
Weirdo fundamentalist sect <> faith
When Jesus was ask what was the greatest commandment, he said "love". Love your neighbor and love God, all the law and the prophets hang on those two, Christ said. So anyone teaching hate toward anyone is teaching the opposite of Christianity.
Certainly that happens, just as the guy selling fake "bomb detectors" claimed science, fools and charlatans sometimes claim God. Their claim is just as bogus though, as Christ clearly directed us to love those who oppose as we love ourselves, even fact even MORE than we love ourselves, love them as he loved us.
Apple can't be to blame because if they were culpable, all that pr0n out there would be in glorious Quicktime instead of crappy Flash or WMV format. Not that I would know this.

Incentive is the word you are missing here. Our society creates masses of perverse incentives that Incentivise people to be irresponsible, in effect weakening the power of Democracy and bringing it into the control of a few puppet masters. For example, suppose you research a set of three candidates over a few weeks and find that one has a major conflict of interest, the second is only power mad, and the third is simply a poor dresser. After all this you make your decision to vote. Now, your vote was just steamrolled by the 10 people that gave up their vote for a pack of cigarettes. (Of course, ' get out and vote'!)

"...pre-set filters block any picture, photograph, drawing, sculpture, motion picture film,or similar visual representation or image of a person or a portion of the human body, which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, excess violence, or sadomasochistic abuse, and which is harmful to minors and adult males"
Easy peasy. Flip a couple of switches and away you go.
Hey, and about those adult females? Anything goes. Open season.
-les common, also concerned about excess violence...
who really oughta sign up here, coward that he isn't...
Your claim is quite simply factually false. Christ never taught hate. the ancient Jewish Scriptures acknowledged that hate, that war, did exist. Christ taught that the old law had been so badly misinterpreted that it needed to be replaced by the new law, and that the all of the law is based on two things - love and love.
Parental Controls comes with a porn filter. it's a couple clicks to turn it on. Of course you can also turn it off if you are the super user. So exactly what is he asking for, a way to turn it on irrevocably? That sounds more like a job for a Baracuda box upstream than the computer itself.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.

Blaming Apple for porn addiction is about like me trying to sue a grocery store for failing to protect me from beer and wine.
EVERY Apple customer EVER. Blame everyone else. They're themselves perfect. Ultra arrogant and living in their own little world.
Now he sues Apple. I wonder if he is still possessed of sex while suing. He clearly needs money to accomplish his deviant fantasies. He was tired of masturbating. With the money comes the power to do what he has seen on the web all this time.
I can't help it. Every time I see someone sue someone for something stupid I have to sue them. It's an addiction, an illness brought on by people suing people for dumb reasons, and then I have to sue them. It's out of my control, I demand the people suing install a sue filter known as common sense and that in the future all people born come with 'common sense' pre-installed and enabled by default. I agree with the freedom of people who really want to turn off 'common sense' but it needs to be a default option on all future humans.
I'm a perv, pay me! Lots and Lots of money.

There's probably a 3rd party program for Apple that does the same thing.
All computers already have a "safe mode". It's called the off button.
If a "safe mode" was included in their software, what would prevent an adult from disabling it? Also, what about self control?
I'm suing Jack Daniels for my alcaholism. My wife took my kids and left me. Jack Daniels failed to install a filter in their bottles to prevent my addiction. Jack Daniels is a silent poisoner responsible for chemical addiction, wife-beater T-Shirts, barf stains and countless numbers of destroyed lives. I am seeking damages from Jack Daniels but will drop the lawsuit if Jack Daniels sells whisky bottles with a "safe mode."
My parents went through one. It was settled very easily. The lawyers exist to keep them from having to be in the same room, not to actually argue anything. The only thing wrong with divorce at the moment is that the person demanding the children often also demands support. It shouldn't be allowed to argue that you are best for the children and you can't afford to care for them in the same sentence. "If you can't afford them, you can't care for them properly." should be the immediate response, and they get to choose whether they want the kids or the money, they can ask for only one.
