Man Watches Porn on Mac, Sues Apple for Not Blocking Porn
Top Stories
Legal drama is nothing new for Apple—Samsung, e-books, App Store trademarks, etc. But the company has probably never seen anything like the 50-page complaint AboveTheLaw.com points out this week. Plaintiff (and attorney) Chris Sevier filed the document (Scribd) against Apple in a US District Court in Nashville, TN last month. Sevier’s beef with Cupertino boils down to a simple fact: it sells machines that allow people to view porn. Sevier is seeking damages and injunctive relief against Apple because it makes products that can display porn (“or as the rest of us call it, the Internet,” AboveTheLaw notes). So Sevier legally requests that Apple enable a porn-filtering “safe mode” by default on its devices. His complaint notes that “If Apple agrees to sell its devices ‘on safe mode’ before trial, the Plaintiff will terminate this litigation.”
