Apple criticizes the European Union Digital Markets Act after The first porn app has become available for the iPhone in Europe. The Cupertino group says that these apps were prohibited in the past but the EU standards have forced him to open his App Store to third parties included Altstore Pal, which provides the app in question, hot tub. According to its developer, the app is approved by Apple, which however denies its endorsement: in the EU, third party stores are analyzed by Apple to verify compatibility with its devices and avoid malware and not quality or functionality.

«We are deeply worried about the safety risks that this type hardcore apps create in the EU, especially for children. Apps like this and others will undermine the trust of consumers in our ecosystem that we have worked for over a decade to be the best in the world, “said a spokesperson for Apple. According to the company led by Tim Cook, Apple would never “offer” Hot Tub in his App Store: “The truth is that we are asked by the European Commission to allow it to be distributed by marketplace operators such as Altstore and Epic (Games) who may not share our users on user safety”.

From the launch of the App Store in 2008, Apple has banned porn But group critics point out that his Safari browser can allow access to adult content sites and that through iTune Movies you can see films that show nudity.
