As noted in a report by The Verge, r/formula1, r/HomeKit and r/HomePod had turned the NSFW label on earlier this week, but the admins asked moderators to switch them back to SFW communities.Įarlier this week, some large communities like r/interstingasfuck, r/midlyinteresting, and r/TIHI (Thanks I hate it) enabled NSFW. It is also threatening them with punitive action and asking them to remove the NSFW label. However, Reddit is stepping in with some of these subreddits and removing moderators. So protesting communities are changing their status to try to affect the company’s ad revenue and get them to listen to their demands. In April 2019, the social network changed its policy to disallow ads on NSFW subreddits. Protesting API changes made by Reddit, moderators are making their subreddits NSFW and loosening the rules about what users can post. This means that convenient NSFW toggle controls are removed but the exact same NSFW content is still available via these apps.After adopting different forms of protest like exclusively posting John Oliver pictures or changing the topic of the subreddit, moderators have rebelled against the company by marking their subreddits NSFW (Not Safe For Work). Then suddenly the company goes on a NSFW jihad against these apps?Īnd to make matters worse, all the company has accomplished here is to force developers to simply allow whatever the default NSFW setting is on a user’s Reddit account. As one commenter noted, some of these apps have been in the iOS App Store for years without Apple saying a word. When I found out that Apple had done this, I almost couldn’t believe it. More at Reddit Really, Apple? Are you serious? Maybe things will get better when you move under one, giant spaceship roof.” What may be worse, is that this decision will likely be reversed in the coming days, which shines yet another light on the crazy disconnect between the App Store team and other parts of the business. Please, Apple, protect my eyes from this filth! (/sarcasm) I may get a NSFW email someday… heaven forbid. Now, suddenly, someone has decided to ban these apps because they access the internet, and the internet (gasp) contains NSFW content?īetter pull Safari next. Ponchoboy: “Not only do these apps just access data freely available on the internet, they have been on the store for YEARS. It was nice to toggle it to block content when I wanted to. While just pretending it doesn’t exist for the app.Įdit: Just saw the new Narwhal update. Glad I have narwhal installed already.”īendersShiny: “And could removing the toggle allow it to be determined by the default setting you have selected on the website. Imgur has an app, not to mention the countless hookup apps. I mean the camera itself can lead in that direction. Satisfried: “There’s gotta be thousands of apps with potential nsfw content. You can get porn through email as well, might want to remove all of those.” As well as all third party web browsers and terminal emulators.
By this logic they should remove safari as well. If Apple has a problem with that kind of content they should be praising reddit apps for having the ability to turn NSFW content off, unlike a web browser which generally doesn’t have that ability.”Īlexnoyle: “The purpose of reddit is not porn this is silly. Web browsers and other apps can easily display pornographic content and they are allowed. UnoriginalTitle: “Ban iOS, people actually use this OS to access NSFW content! The horror!”īiznatch11: “I don’t understand this at all.
Nsfw reddit Patch#
Deceptiveideas: “Emergency iOS 9.3.2 patch released to pull Safari after claims of being able to access NSFW content.”ĬhipsAndDiplo: “And twitter, tumblr, google, bing, firefox, the list goes on…”
