The business in this case is from a religious extremist and this kind of software is very frequently used without the user's consent.

That's very libelous of you.

You may like you and your young children being able to stream unlimited hardcore pornography to their iPads, but that doesn't mean other people have to like and allow it for themselves.

That is a frankly bigoted statement and one I'm use to seeing more on Reddit than HN. It is designed to be used voluntarily, or as parental controls for children. This is not $evilTechCompany coming to suck up all of your data.

  • I don't know if this person is an extremist. Religious or otherwise. Nor do I know anything about the organization they represent. But both in labeling someone an extremist, and in claiming that said label is bigoted, both parties owe the reader context which hasn't really been provided. So you both kind of accomplished nothing here.

  • Apps like this are, by design, able (and arguably designed) to be used involuntarily. If you abusive spouse tells you to install it, what can you do?
