Steve Jobs: Anti-Porn Crusader - GoFuckYourself.com

Quote:

Armed with a Stinger cocktail and a Friday night alone, Valleywag editor Ryan Tate emailed Apple czar Steve Jobs with a question about the iPad. (Jobs responds to public emails, by the way, so have at it.) Tate writes "An iPad advertisement ticked me off; I sent the Apple CEO an angry email; he told me about 'freedom from porn.'"

Yes, Steve Jobs, among other more pressing tech issues, is rabidly anti-porn. And, well, that's just frightening. Yes, it is. Jobs is proud of the iPad being relatively porn-free (at least compared to other systems), and he isn't ashamed of it. You don't like it? You don't have to buy it, Jobs snits.

Seems lately this dude just can't say enough against porn.

Maybe he gets a bonus from Disney.

Well, the only industry that is comparable to the porn industry on computers, as far as revenue goes, is computer games. Since Jobs has expressed that he wants the iPad to be very gamer friendly, perhaps he is trying attack porn in an effort to appeal to parents that are afraid of their gamer kids that could be exposed to porn while online gaming.

Just a theory, but an educated guess.
