Though lawsuits are nothing new for Apple, but this time a new lawsuit filed against them is a bit different. Chris Sevier has filed a lawsuit against Apple in US District Court in Nashville, TN last month for selling products which can display porn content.
Here is the introduction of his complaint against apple
Sevier claims that he became addicted to porn after a typo in Safari on his Macbook which led him to a porn site. He wanted to visit "Facebook.com" but accidentally misspelled it as "****book.com" which led to unwanted addiction.
The consequences were even worse, he began to prefer the cyber beauties over his wife which caused his marriage to fail and his wife left with his son.
According to him, the product was sold without any warning of the damage pornography causes and it was not equipped with measures to block the content which poisoned his life.
Sevier has asked the court for damages and injunctive relief against apple. However, if apple agrees to sell its devices with 'Safe Mode' before trial, he will terminate this litigation.

Here is the introduction of his complaint against apple
The Plaintiff loves Apple. The Plaintiff believes in Apple, as a company and knows that it has good intent. Since its inception, Apple has always been a pro-family company, Apple has always been an entity that is concerned with the welfare of our Nation's children, while furthering pro-American values. There is no reason for Apple, a private company to overly support pornography online, explicit sexual content which has led to the proliferation of arousal addiction, sex trafficking, prostitution, and countless numbers of destroyed lives. The Plaintiff respectfully demand that Apple sell all of its devices on "safe mode," with software preset to filter out pornographic content. If the purchaser of Apple's products is over 18, Apple should allow the buyer to take additional step to acquire a password from Apple in order to remove the filter to access Constitutionally protected indecent content. If the buyer is under 18, Apple should not provide the password.
