Unrestricted Porn on iOS 7 Newstand

iOS 7 Newsstand store allows you to browse pornographic men’s magazine covers and there is no way to remove it or restrict it.  Apple has left a door open for children and adults to view pornography unrestricted and this is a deal breaker for me if Apple does not come up with a way to restrict this material.  Anyone know of a way to restrict the content available on the Newsstand?  Apple support was no help.

    Is the problem a lack of will power on your part or the fact that you’re giving the device to your kids and are unwilling to use Parental Controls to hide Newsstand?

    I've always felt they should have a restricted area of the stores to contain explicit material and it would allow them to be more relaxed with content they know is going to only be accessible to adults. There's apps in the store about sex positions and things and kids don't need to see that. Similarly, I don't really want to see a bunch of content designed for kids so I'd like to be able to filter that out.

    The adults-only section would need to be enabled in an iTunes store account manually and it would be disabled by default so it makes it easier for parents. Like how Google Images filters explicit content by default and you just turn off the filter. They could request typing parts of an associated credit card number to verify that the person is over 18 and is allowed to turn off the filter.

    As I recall, Steve Jobs had a low tolerance for pron. Needless to say, Apple is doing well enough without trying to get a piece of the porn pie.

    Do they have Double Anal Sluts?  Maybe a reason for upgrading...
