I meant total blocking of certain sites in the browser software by Apple, rather than just a filter system that users can enable.
Of course I'm fine with optional, user controlled filtering. And again, I said such total blocking was unlikely to happen....
They key is everything should be up to the user. They can control what apps they put in their store---as it is their store, but they should have no control over what users put on their iPad from other sources once they buy it.
Right now that's the case, though it sounds like wanting to limit porn access may be at least a small part of the reason to block Flash from that e-mail exchange.
In any case, it's a slippery slope to be making those kind of comments, and certainly rubs me the wrong way and further reduces the chances that I ever get an iPad or another Apple product period--at least while Jobs is at the helm and making such statements.
