Random Thoughts:  Apple’$ Ethic$ of Censorship

Apple and it’s CEO have taken a stance, promoting the App Store for all things “i” as a censored environment.  Applications that promote profanity, crudeness and adult themes are no longer available.  That’s fine.  It’s actually a bit admirable.

The ethics of the company comes into question though, if we look at the flip side of the store:  music and movies.  Why does Apple so vehemently protest applications that promote questionable themes and images while allowing music and movies with violence, nudity and adult themes?

I don’t claim to “know” the answer, but a little $peculation point$ in one direction.  This is only food for thought, so to speak.  Hit the comments below and share your thoughts on the topic with us.
