Apple takes pride in regulating the App Store, and part of that control is preventing pornographic apps altogether. However, there are limits to this control given that some apps can offer features that users can easily abuse — seemingly without Apple being aware.
According to a report from 404 Media, Apple struggles with a “dual use” problem found in apps that offer features like face swapping. While the feature is innocent enough at first glance, users are swapping faces onto pornography, sometimes using minor’s faces.
