Apple struggle to control nudity on iPhone App store

It seems that Apple are having trouble containing explicit content on their App store, after recent reports that they have banned a second App in the same week for featuring explicit material.

As reported from Information Week, the latest App to be banned by Apple is called ‘BeautyMeter’. The App allows users to view user-submitted images of males and females and then rate them based on the image.

Apple has removed the App after it contained topless pictures of a 15 year old female, along with a similar app called ‘Hottest Girl’.

It seems like the problem could get out of hand in future if Apple don’t carefully moderate the Apps that they originally approve.
