Apple is censoring European books.

There seems to be a major cultural difference between the US and Europe regarding what degree of nudity that can be accepted in the name of culture.
Apple regarded this Book cover as pornographic:

How do the Americans learn how to reproduce?

Do they all have their first experience with a Flower or a bie?

In any case the Apple people seem to think that there is an App for reproduction..

This is normal people - everybody has one! Showing violence and killings is not normal - but seems to be more accepted.

Why should Apples layered morals be allowed to set the standard all over the world?

EU politicians are biting on stone in their attempts to communicate with Apple regarding this. :wall:

There is a solution though - don't use their products!
You are the stupid one for actually accepting this - not Apple.

And how editors in European media can offer content for Apple devices without having control over the content - beats me :confused

This has become the Danish case in the EU.
The Europeans do not regard this as Porn - as Apple does.

I do not know if is true or false but Steve Jobs said that if you want Porn to use Android. I think he was talking about freedom.
