Ever since the moment Project Glass debuted rumors were a buzz regarding how it would forever revolutionize the Porn industry. Visual perspective ideas were brought up, debated and it would be only a matter of time before we saw our first XXX app grace the new tech. While it's a novel idea, it's one that will not see the light of day. A company by the name of MiKandi who developed an app called Tit's and Glass (seriously) took to their corporate blog today to inform the internet world that their app would not be seen on Google Glass. This comes after Google changed their policies last Friday regarding pornographic and adult content. According to them:
“We don’t allow Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography. If we become aware of content with child pornography, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution.”
It would appear that Google is taking the “do no evil” mantra to heart. While MiKandi stated on their blog that they developed the app to Google Policy terms prior to this change it doesn't change the fact that they have to change their app. Of course they've stated that the app is still live but content will be changing dramatically over the night time hours. This, along side Google's no on facial recognition suggest that the Mountain View company means business when it comes to this project. While this ban won't affect most people, we're sure it'll anger a few people.

But rest assured, violence will probably be OK…
What will they do next, block Glass access to certain sites? Welcome to the theocratic, totalitarian Republic of Google. Glad that device is so stupid and insecure in the first place.
“It would appear that Google is taking the “do no evil” mantra to heart.” So nudity is evil and censorship fine? OUCH!
It’s Google’s new style to be like Apple. I don’t want (or will use) a device from a manufacturer who wants to be my nanny. I’m an adult person since many years and I(!) decide what I do with MY device (or not). First Google blocked the install of YouTube downloaders on Chrome, then AdBlock on Android, now nudity on Glass. Next? Twitter on Android to force people towards Google+? Controversial political content (like Apple)?
Google wants to be like Apple? OK, I’ll treat them like Apple. I’ll buy no further Android device and I’ll stop using their services. NOBODY censors my content!
Try reading it again.
A stupid comment as it is to expect from anonymous commentators. Go, troll somewhere else!
