A Tennessee man is suing Apple, claiming the tech giant is at fault for selling devices that grant him unrestricted access to porn on the internet.
In a 50 page complaint, filed mid-June, former attorney Chris Sevier holds that since Apple is "concerned with the welfare of our Nation's children, while furthering pro-American values" it should "sell all its devices in 'safe mode,' with software preset to filter out pornographic content."

The complaint alleges "Apple is hijacking great sex" by allowing customers to view pornography online, as well as being complicit in "the development of sex trafficking ... child prostitution," and many other societal ills.
Later, in a section highlighted by Above the Law, Sevier accuses Apple of enabling "unfair competition" between porn actresses and his wife:
Saved and Texan by the Grace of God, Redneck by choice.
