Big Brother Steve Jobs: More Apple iBooks Censorship

Apple accused of censorship after porn disappears from iPad book chart - Telegraph: "Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story was ranked first on the iPad in a top 10 that included three other erotic novellas yesterday morning. But all four titles disappeared simultaneously and had been replaced with less risque books, such as Peter Mandelson’s autobiography, by the afternoon. Book chart analysts said it was unlikely that all the erotic titles could have dropped out of the list at the same moment without being deliberately removed. It is not the first time that Apple has faced accusations of prudishness. The company embarked on a "great porn purge" in February, ridding its iPhone App Store of all "overtly sexual content." Steve Jobs, chief executive, announced in April that he wanted the newly-launched iPad to remain free of pornographic applications. ..."
