Apple’s regressive stance on sexual content being available on its largest platform is verging on a full on moral panic and it’s really gross. Entire businesses and communities have been crushed by it, and it often hurts queer and trans communities most.

@matthewbischoff I can see why they want to stay away from porn, though, since it blurs so many lines. If you allow porn, do you also allow racist porn, which is plentiful? Apple would definitely never want to allow racism, but where do they then draw the line? How do they define that? What other forms of porn are fine and which aren't?
It's very hard to allow porn and block other objectionable content in a consistent way.
The solution to this is Apple Allowing you to install apps freely outside of the App Store
