First Native Porn App for iPhone Launches in EU Thanks to DMA
2025-02-11
The EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) allows developers to distribute iOS apps through alternative app stores. This has led to the launch of "Hot Tub," the first native pornography app for iPhone, available in the EU via AltStore PAL. While Apple scans for malware, alternative stores have fewer content restrictions than the App Store, resulting in a less controlled environment. Hot Tub offers private and secure adult content browsing without ads or tracking. However, this also raises concerns about increased exposure to objectionable content, sparking debate around content moderation and user protection.
