"Some such"? Again, unless there's something else I can't find, "some such" 
amounted to labeling, not censorship. 

She didn't say that you can't listen to music about mofos and beyotches and 
hos. She said she wanted to know if that's was she was buying for her own kids. 
Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I guess this is an answer to your own question of 02-20-10:

"Do any of you folks who chastised Apple for being too restrictive  
with their App Store want to weigh in on this one?"


"Apple Adult Content Purge Encouraged By Developers -- InformationWeek


Does Apple really need to be in the censoring business also? Why can't  
they, as someone posted in the comments section, improve their  
parental controls to hide the naughty bits (they can, apparently, be  
browsed, but not downloaded by "minors") or put them in a separate  
place (the red-light district) on the App Store?

Well, I didn't remember anything about Tipper Gore and video game violence, so 
I did that and came up empty.

What did Tipper ever ask for other than reasonable content labels on recordings?

What's next, mandatory burqas? But then these day, songs played on the  
radio are full of gaps where a word or two has been deleted. These
