It’s nothing new that porn and scammers take undue advantage of every connected device, even ones they shouldn’t.  Besides the web, the mobile domain is another target for the porn industry, specifically the forbidden fruit of Apple’s iPhone.  And while it’s been a touchy topic for years, Apple’s not mad at porn on the iPhone, rather the iPhone being the subject of “gadget porn.”  Gadget porn has become quite prominent today and it’s common to see photos of Apple products as “gadget porn,” which is really disappointing the iPhone maker.

There are so many sites on the web that have iPhone-related domain names, and take you to the porn serving sites. To safeguard its good name, Apple has filed a complaint with the World Intelllectual Property Organization over the seven domain names. Here’s the list of those seven domain names, but make sure not to open these:

• iphonecamforce.com
• iphonecam4s.com
• iphoneporn4s.com
• iphonesex4s.com
• iphonexxxforce.com
• iphone4s.com
• porn4iphones.com

It’s understandable that Apple is trying to take control of the situation and eliminate porn from being associated with its products.  WIPO will resolve the issue as soon as possible.

But this is not the very first time that porn has tried to leave its “designated areas,” as we’ve already seen in case of mobile apps. For example, the Cinemax app, following on the tails of HBO GO, circumvented some of Apple’s most stringent policies around the promotion of pornographic content.  Called Cinemax Max Go, the app provides on-demand access to movies and programming using mobile devices. As for the channel’s soft-core offering, they created a special tab called Max After Dark, streaming titles such as “The Hills Have Thighs,” “Bikini Jones,” and “The Temple of Eros.”

Cinimax Max Go users must be at least 17 years old to download the app because of “frequent/intense sexual content or nudity.” It also contains parental controls to prevent children from viewing racy materials should they get a hold of dad’s iPad.  Still, Apple loosening its grip means the violation of its own anti-porn policy, which strictly defines pornographic material based on Webster’s Dictionary, flat out rejecting them.
