According to the rules , “Legal Defense Fund Comic” , Apple recently banned the placement of several editions of the series Comics’ Sex Criminals # 2 in Appendix Comixology . “After a thorough evaluation, based on undelivered and hidden descriptions that do not conform to the rules, Apple has decided to prohibit the publication of a series« Comics’ Sex Criminals # 2 “in the appendix for iOS Comixology».

I do not read comics, moreover, now rejected by the censors iTunes series of issues available again for some reason. Is another question. If a good search, you can find much more candid edition. Moreover, download preview it is not difficult – there is no warning, no restrictions on age, marks «Explicit» and other things that might draw attention to the objectionable content filter like from the children.

Do not you find it interesting that Apple seems to exclude unwanted content from the store iTunes, but if you look through the “Box” or store iBooks on any iOS-device, in the category of Men’s Interest («For Men”) is quite a easy to stumble upon magazine with the title «Balloons»? And it is not about speech balloons or people who are fond of aeronautics … Or even this: improper placement rules is simply replaced with the name of the characters – all right, censorship is passed!

In editions of this content is nothing wrong – it’s a whole industry, like many similar things, or even necessary, but not all. The fact that Apple has double standards regarding the placement of books with the theme of “adult”. Rejected issue comic book where as harmless. And most of the books in the “Erotica”, which I was able to see, it is not have no age ratings, they do not have foreseen the possibility of parental control.

Children of any age can easily download sample or buy the latest issue of “air ball.” Rejected issue comic book where as harmless. It seems that on this stretch of road Apple has decided to sleep at the wheel.

Of Apple, which in July, the court found guilty of conspiring with some of the largest publishing houses in order to drive up the price of e-books, asks the court to reject the request of the Ministry of Justice the introduction of a number of sanctions against it. This is stated in the petition addressed to the iPhone maker in federal court in New York.

Ministry of Justice, inter alia, requested the court to order Apple to break contracts with five publishers with whom it is the opinion of the authorities, has entered into an agreement. In addition, the Cupertino-based company may be prohibited for five years to enter into new agreements for the sale of e-books using their devices and services.

U.S. authorities are also obliged to offer Apple placed in the store content competitors in the book market – such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble and post direct links to their online kiosks. This, according to the Ministry of Justice, will allow users to more easily compare the prices for e-books. In addition, the agency insists that the American giant computer electronics has hired an independent inspector, who would supervise the antitrust policy on the stage of the decision-making

Apple, in turn, called the Justice Ministry’s proposal “draconian and punitive.” “They will cause serious damage to U.S. businesses and consumers”, – stated in the application of the company. Apple asked the court to reject completely the requirements of the authorities to appoint or less severe sanctions.
