Should those apps be listed in the apps list? Apple's policy on this type of content has changed, but Michael thinks it should be in a "Red Light" district with special permissions required. Kids get to see this stuff without asking for it. There are parental controls but that won't filter the lists (this is now verified, the apps still show up in the lists). They also appear in the top paid lists. Michael is OK with content filters, Apple created the store, they should be able to totally control the content/apps. Would you want your mom to encounter this content in the app store? Foursquare. Dave checked in to a hotel and was awarded the "Douchebag" badge. He reported it in the Get Satisfaction support site for Foursquare. Great discussion ensued. They need to make sure that the service is attractive to every age group. Dave thinks the term is potentially offensive. Back to content - let's keep the adult material in a separate part of the store. For clarification, Michael isn't opposed to the content being in the store, it just shouldn't be as easily available. What are your thoughts? That's a wrap.
