Sad news for anyone hoping to waste their days secretly watching porn during office hours using Google Glass: Google has already barred sexually explicit applications from the Glass platform. As Business Insider’s Jay Yarow notes, Google has said that it doesn’t allow “Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material” and has a “zero-tolerance policy against child pornography.” Google earlier this week announced that it wouldn’t allow facial recognition technology onto the Glass platform so it seems that the company is exerting a lot more influence over what developers can create for the headset than it typically does with smartphone and tablet app developers.
