Google says forget porn in Glass

04 June 2013 [10:55] - TODAY.AZ
On Monday morning, the first porn app for Google Glass was announced. A few hours later, Google officially banned sexually explicit material on the futuristic eyewear.

The pornographic app for Glass was released by MiKandi, an adult app store that has a successful Android app store for adult apps. Using the application, Google Glass wearers could look at photos and watch videos filmed using Google Glass. The company wanted to expand from first-person point of view videos to one-on-one interactions between adults who both have Glass.

Now it seems that business plan will need to be altered.

Google has added a new section to its developer policies for Google Glass that prohibits apps from delivering sexually explicit content.

"We don't allow Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts or sexually explicit material," the section reads, going on to promise harsh penalties for any app featuring child pornography. Google also bans gratuitous violence, hate speech and gambling on Glass.
