500px – Porn Issues Resolved?
We reported last week that Apple had removed the uber pro app 500px from the app store because it contained nude/pornographic images. Well, actually there is quite a lot of porn on the Internet so Apple may well have a job on their hands if they intend to cleanse it thoroughly. So, the developers behind this very attractive photo sharing app have now updated it and have included a ‘report this’ icon, so if you’re browsing this app and something offensive hits you hard, then just hit that button. The rating of the app has also been increased to 17+.
