Apple Preaches Safe Sexting, Approves Safe Sexting App

Sexting … ever heard of it? Meh, don’t worry. Just means you’re out of high school and don’t have a MySpace page. Basically kids these days are using their cell phones to take sexually explicit pictures of themselves and then sending them via text message (MMS) to their friends. Sex + Texting = Sexting. And it’s a fairly popular activity among teens. Just yesterday, CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric reported that according to a recent Pew poll (no idea, google it), 30 percent of 17-year-olds have received a sext, while 15 percent of all   teens have. LOL … freaking kids these days … so technologically advanced.

sexting_22 But sexting is no laughing matter. Sucks for you teenager when your nude images start appearing on Facebook and Twitter. Sucked even more for High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens … naked photos from her sext swept the Internet. And the ultimate suck – it’s a crime – possessing and distributing child pornography is a serious felony.

So in efforts to keep the kiddies free from sexting danger, a number of safe sext messages are being published. Inside the Actor’s Studio host James Lipton has released a practice safe sexting PSA video … … the National Crime Prevention Council issued a Sexting: How Parents Can Keep Their Kids Safe flyer … and of course, CollegeHumor.com released a NSFW safe sexting music video, including tips like blur your face and strategic cropping.

 

Not to be outdone, Apple has joined the safe sext movement. Perhaps they figured with the  introduction of iPhone MMS, it’s the socially correct thing to do, approve Safe Sexting.

Safe-Sexting-Title

With Safe Sexting, perverted kids can now continue to enjoy texting naked pictures of themselves and as an added bonus … they’ll stay out of jail. Before your next sexting session, simply launch Safe Sexting … which will automatically open up a safe sexting camera with four options to censor you naughty bits: Small Box, Large Box, Head Box (for the introverts) and a teasing semi-transparent Red Silk. Take picture and safely send away.

Safe-Sexting-1  Safe-Sexting-2

Safe-Sexting-Hudgens-1  Safe-Sexting-Hudgens-2

Big up’s to Apple for providing children a safe method of sexting. However we’re actually not that impressed. If Apple can somehow transform the iPhone into a condom and tackle the larger safe sex issue … now that would be revolutionary!

    This app is weird, why not just take a picture with you cloths on, it will look better. Who wants to see blacked out TaTas when your imagination can fill in the blanks with a clothed picture, at least you get to see the shape.

    Plus the app could be coded better … for example, you cannot censor images
    already in your Camera Roll … basically the developer leveraged the
    sexting sensation and gained some nice coverage (no pun intended).

    In the article you imply that apple created this app. Well, they didn't. This is a 3rd party app, Apple merely put their stamp of approval on it and put it in the app store.

    True … Apple did not literally create/code Safe Sexting (actually to
    date, Appke has published 4 apps) … but with Apple's “stamp of
    approval”, one could argue that Apple did breathe life into the app
    and thus were part of the creation process … without Apple, no apps
    would be created.

    Thanks for the visit and be safe ;)

    Apple has a “business partnership” with all iPhone app developers … which
    is a totally different business model then the rest of the items for sale in
    iTunes. Apple has the final word on what they sell … while Apple did not
    code the app, they approve and endorse it … thus it can be argued that
    it's “from Apple” … maybe not directly in the sense of them coding the
    app, but certainly in the sense of Apple reviewing the app, its content,
    functionality, accuracy and ultimately, making it live in the App Store.

    And look at the case of the Baby Shaker app … it was Apple that apologized
    for approving the app … so even Apple understands and realizes they have a
    HUGE stake in iPhone apps / App Store … even it these apps are coded by
    3rd parties
