Amidst antitrust suits over Apple's use of the App Store, Apple blocked a ChatGPT email app claiming it could harm minors. Apple is asking BlueMail for a 17+ age restriction.
Microsoft recently released an updated version of its Bing smartphone app with the ChatGPT functionality to Apple’s App Store andBing is listed in the iPhone App Store with the 17-and-older age restriction that Apple is asking of BlueMail, while Bing on the Google Play Store has no age restrictions. Bing in the App Store already had a 17-and-up age restriction because of the app’s ability to find adult content, a Microsoft spokesman said.
Volach says Apple is unfairly targeting BlueMail. The app has content filtering, and placing a higher age restriction on the app could limit distribution to potential new users, he said. Volach also said many other apps that advertise a ChatGPT-like feature listed on Apple’s App Store don’t have age restrictions.ZUCKERBERG SAYS NEW META TEAM TO WORK ON 'AI PERSONAS,' OTHER FEATURES
