The Digital Markets Act (DMA) has enabled the launch of AltStore PAL, a third-party app store allowing iOS users in Europe to download an adult content browser. Dubbed the first 'Apple-approved porn app', Apple quickly refuted this claim, highlighting its lack of endorsement for such content. The DMA mandates Apple's compliance with third-party distribution methods, which contrasts with its traditionally rigid App Store guidelines. Apple contends that these changes expose users to harmful content, signaling concerns over user safety and its control over app distribution.
Apple has been vocal about its opposition to the DMA, claiming it increases risks for users. A statement from the company criticised the EU for exposing European users to "unsavoury services such as pornography, illegal drugs" and other content prohibited on the App Store.
This browser, which offers unrestricted access to content that Apple traditionally blocks, is being described as the first "Apple-approved porn app." However, Apple strongly rejects that label, stating: "Apple does not approve of this app."
