How antitrust crusaders brought a porn app to iPhones

A porn app called Hot Tub can now be added to iPhones in the European Union , thanks to an overzealous interpretation of antitrust law.

Apple has banned apps that carry "overtly sexual or pornographic material" from appearing in its App Store .

Some antitrust zealots have begun to denounce Apple and Google for blocking or discouraging apps from being downloaded outside of their official app stores.

The "Kids Off Social Media Act " ( KOSMA ) would shut kids under 13 off of social media platforms.

The ACLU and other free speech groups oppose the bill.

KOSMA "is sort of an attempt to create a 'more palatable' version of KOSA, butstill a censorship bill at its core," writes Cathy Gellis .

Calling the law "unconstitutionally vague," Judge Robert Pitman "enjoined several provisions of the Securing Children Online through Parental Empowerment Act , also known as the SCOPE Act ." The law is being challenged by Students Engaged in Advancing Texas and others, with assistance from The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression . Today 's Image.
