Success! Apple Have Permanently Removed Cosmetic Surgery Apps Targeting Children

Posted on Blog by admin · December 12, 2018 3:02 PM

All of our 154,500+ voices have been heard! YOU have been heard.

Together, we managed to put enough pressure on a giant company to make them take a hard look at their policy around cosmetic surgery apps for children and change it (or the enforcement of it) for the better.

Back in April, an Apple spokesperson made the following positive statement to the media about the company’s stance on cosmetic surgery apps targeting children: “‘We do not want nor allow these types of apps on the store.
