Apple accused of ebook censorship

Apple has been accused of censoring the iPad book chart after four pornographic titles mysteriously disappeared from the bestseller list, according to a “Telegraph” report (http://macosg.me/2/lo).

“Blonde and Wet, the Complete Story” was ranked first on the iPad in a top 10 that included three other erotic novellas Monday morning. But all four titles disappeared simultaneously and had been replaced with less risqué books, such as Peter Mandelson’s autobiography, by the afternoon, notes the “Telegraph.” Book chart analysts told the publication it was unlikely that all the erotic titles could have dropped out of the list at the same moment without being deliberately removed.

Of course, it’s not the first time that Apple has faced accusations of censorship. The company embarked on a “great porn purge” in February, ridding its iPhone App Store of all “overtly sexual content,” notes the “Telegraph.”
