Remember last month when Google went totally L7 on us and nixed the Google Glass app Tits and Glass for violating the company's rules for uploading? As a part of its terms and conditions, Google Glass forbids the uploading of any application that contains "nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material" and unfortunately Tits and Glass — which was designed to allow users to record sex from their own perspective — was aaaaaall about nudity, graphic sex acts and sexually explicit material. The app was then forced to go away and think about what it did, while the rest of us were left alone with these useless/priceless pieces of technology that we weren't even allowed to watch porn on.
Well, Tits and Glass is now back, but it's totally different. I mean, it still goes by Tits and Glass. It still claims to be the same Tits and Glass it always was, but it's different. It's almost like Tits and Glass is your seventh grade best friend who grows boobs over the summer and comes back to school a totally changed person — only in this case, Tits and Glass is losing boobs instead of gaining them. It's like we're not cool enough to hang out/jerk off with anymore.
As Tits and Glass developer MiKandi wrote on its website:
Google’s latest revision to its Glass Platform Developer Policy spoils the fun by prohibiting “Glassware content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material.”
Therefore, the biggest change to the Tits & Glass adult app is that Glass users are no longer allowed to share intimate racy experiences with other Glass users. We’ve added a feature to filter out pornographic material from appearing on the Glass app...[but] because we don’t want you to get totally bored with your now-kinda-boring device, we partnered with top photographers around the globe to preload the app with irresistibly hot, *non-pornographic* photos of some of the world’s most beautiful models. You can access, vote, and comment on these photos through Glass. Yay!
Ugh, if we wanted to rate a bunch of non-pornographic images of models in bras and swimsuits, we'd pick up a Delia*s catalog. THANKS ANYWAY, Tits and Glass.

DISCUSSION
I don't really see why Google is choosing to go all Apple control-freak on this one device.
