Well it looks like iphone had to pull an app from the store once again. The app was a free app called "BeautyMeter" where people can upload photos that others rate (they give them stars) based on their: Face, Body & Clothes. Ok that seems simply enough, but what happens when nudes start showing up? Or even worse when the nudes are kids? Yep that happened when a 15 year old girl posted a pic of her topless and semi bottomless. She posted she was 15 years old and she was rated by 5,000 users. One of the new sources did a story on it and they posted the pic - censored as they put it. I dunno to me it was not censored enough so I will not link to the story but here is the picture - however I covered it up MORE (I think you can still get the point).
"Apple will not distribute applications that contain inappropriate content, such as pornography," an Apple spokesman said regarding Hottest Girls on June 25. "The developer of this application added inappropriate content directly from their server after the application had been approved and distributed, and after the developer had subsequently been asked to remove some offensive content. This was a direct violation of the terms of the iPhone Developer Program. The application is no longer available on the App Store."
Apple made no similar announcement regarding BeautyMeter. It simply disappeared from the App Store. But in theory people who already had the app can continue to use it, including the upload and rating functionality.
On its web site, BeautyMeter's developer Funnymals says members of BeautyMeter are required to provide their iPhone device ID so illegal content can be traced back to the owner of that phone.
