APPLE LASHES OUT AT IPHONE PORN APP MAKER AND THE EU RULES ALLOWING ITS DOWNLOAD
AltStore PAL, an alternative app marketplace made possible under Europe's Digital Markets Act (DMA), unveiled the Hot Tub iPhone app this week, which is described as an adult content browser.
The digital rulebook forces Big Tech companies to open their services up to more competition, including allowing phone users to download from alternative app stores instead of being limited to the official app stores from Apple and Google, for example.
AltStore PAL said in a social media post this week that Hot Tub is "the world's 1st Apple-approved porn app." Apple rejected that description, saying the availability of such an app would "undermine consumer trust and confidence" in its mobile ecosystem.
