* A Russian man has filed a lawsuit against Apple for moral harm claiming that an iPhone app had turned him gay. The man filed suit in a Moscow court asking for $15 000 after a cryptocurrency called ‘GayCoin’ was delivered via a smartphone app, rather than the Bitcoin he had ordered. ‘I decided to try same-sex relationships,’ the complainant wrote. ‘Now I have a boyfriend and I do not know how to explain this to my parents. Apple pushed me towards homosexuality through manipulation. The changes have caused me moral and mental harm.’
