In recent years, Apple has constantly been slapped with lawsuits of questionable merit.
From complaints of Siri’s trusted capabilities to insane suits filed against the late founder Steve Jobs and a lawyer in Florida suing Apple for millions because he couldn’t be bothered to figure out how iTunes works, the Cupertino, California, powerhouse has faced its fair share of legal battles.
But the company has probably never seen anything quite like this 50-page suit filed by a Tennessee man.
Earlier this week, AboveTheLaw.com pointed out how Chris Sevier, 36, an attorney in Nashville, is claiming Apple sold him a computer without the porn filter turned on.
The plaintiff claims that because of all the porn he indulged in, he lost his wife, his son and his job after “accidentally” watching porn for the first time lured him into addiction and “gave him an unrealistic idea of what sex with his wife would be like.”
With no shortage in revenue, it’s easy to see why so many people choose to attach the tech giant.
Sevier says his porn addiction all began when he made a simple typo in Safari while trying to access Facebook. He is seeking damages and injunctive relief against Apple because it makes products that can display porn.
According to Above the Law, in 2011 the lawyer-plaintiff in this case was put on “inactive status” by the Tennessee Supreme Court due to “mental infirmity of illness.”
