Solarbird on Livejournal: Apple approves transphobic iPhone app

As you may and may not know, Apple Computer exercises editorial control over the content of the Apple Store, through which music, ebooks, and iPhone and iPad applications are sold. It's been called – somewhat derisively – a Disneyland development platform, and many people prefer Android-based phones specifically because they want an open development environment. I have sympathy for this position, but this post isn't about that argument.

And if that judgement call happens to include approving an application called "PeekABoo->-bleeped-<-," that makes fake photobombs of "fierce ->-bleeped-<-s in hilarious poses" and promising "a ->-bleeped-<- surprise in every shot!" then, well, Apple has endorsed that, as well.
