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.'"

    Porn addiction is a real thing just like a lot of other habit forming activities, but seriously we don't blame the heroine or meth for a junkie becoming a junkie. I don't blame beer for someone being an alcoholic, I blame them for being a weak, simple, and pathetic human being, just like this dude is.

    You seem to be confusing the word "American" with the word "Democrat"

    True, they will be very quick to jump on and support you without examining any of your background given that you espouse something in line with their judgments and beliefs. As soon as they find someone with whom they do not agree on a particular subject they go into spook mode digging up everything in their background that allows them to vilify that person.
