A better solution, IMHO, would be to take the apps displayed as Available
for download from a white-list. This is not about ethical issues, porn or
personal beliefs but only about Quality Assurance and design.
Many apps currently displayed have ugly low-def icons, or have weird names,
or are barely used by anyone.
Currently, the choice of apps proposed look totally random, while on the
Software Center, we do have a selection of Top Rated, featured apps.
I guess that this would resolve the underlying issue because I don't
picture Pornview getting featured.
