Abstract: The Digital Markets Act in Europe has led to the distribution of a porn app on one of the independent iOS app stores, AltStore, which is supported by Epic Games. This development has raised concerns about the lack of age verification and potential risks for young users. Apple, which has been critical of the DMA, has expressed worries about the safety implications of such content being easily accessible. Parents can use Apple's Parental Controls to restrict access to third-party stores and protect their children from potentially harmful content. [Extracted from the article]
