Google Says "No" to Google Glass Porn Apps

[kenu12345]

Really people are thinking of not buying this because they cant go onto the official store and buy porn to wank in front of everybody with? Is there that many trench coats sold off season a year?

Probably for the best. That's quite the rabbit hole. I should probably explore the glasses secondary intended uses first.

The app, appropriately titled: "T**s and Glass"...

How pedestrian - they should have gone with Go Ogle.

Awwww... *cough* Ahem, I mean... good job google, good job.

OT: This played out exactly as expected. Porn tries out new visual tech, google says no, all's right in the world.

"T**s and Glass,"

Out of curiosity, was censorship of the title necessary or was it just personal choice? I only ask because it doesn't seem vulgar to me, rather tame especially compared to pornography naming conventions.

Is anyone actually going to buy this in the first place, and why?

Exhibitionism, clearly.

And Google just killed their own product. Which is amazing. Okay, the current record holder for 'killing your own product before it's out of the gates' still belongs to Microsoft after their Xbone reveal press event. But Google finished in the second place with this statement.

Is it just me or is the whole thing about child pornography completely disconnected from the first part?

From the sounds of it, this was like an amature porn app. It sounds like some teenagers got ahold of it, and were using it to pass nude pictures of each other. That counts as child pornography, and could cause major legal implications for google.

Did you even read the description of what the App does?

"The app was designed to make "authentic porn" by allowing users to create, upload, and share photos taken with Google Glass."

If you think that would only be used on people of legal age, you're hopelessly naive. The app was far too uncontrollable, and there would be almost no way to prevent the child porn from getting mixed in with the rest of the content. Good for Google for anticipating this and stopping it before it starts.

I was wondering if there was going to be a root/root joke in there, and there was! huzzah!

I'm going to guess that Google glasses will have an internet browser (Not exactly a stretch); so my big question is, how exactly is this going to stop glass from being used for porn? Really it wouldn't be hard to get some; you wouldn't even be slowed down all that much.
