How Can I Report an App that is Openly Peddling Pornographic Images of Children to have it removed from the App Store???

There’s an app, called DeviantArt, which is an older app version of an even older website of the same name. I was recently perusing some of the content there when there just randomly, in basically a public feed, was a questionable picture, with an even more questionable header/description. Then, once I tapped on the username, which took me to their profile, turns out their ENTIRE ACCOUNT and POSTING HISTORY is NOTHING EXCEPT GRAPHIC, DISGUSTING, IMMORAL, REPREHENSIBLE, ABSOLUTELY ILLEGAL AS IT SHOULD BE, TROVE of PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES featuring ONLY PICTURES OF PREPUBESCENT, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO TODDLER-AGED CHILDREN. This HAS TO STOP!!! This is sickening beyond words. HOW CAN I REPORT THIS TO APPLE—RIGHT NOW??!??? Please advise, or I’ll be placing Apple into the “complicit category” this app is now in whenever I report this the appropriate authorities. You’ve been warned. Now tell me how to report this filthy garbage so you can DO YOUR JOB OF PROTECTING CHILDREN AND REMOVE THIS HEINOUS ATROCITY FROM THE APP STORE.

There is an Apple Legal link on the bottom of every page of the website.


BTW, this is a user-to-user tech support forum. Threats don't mean much here as we are not Apple, nor do we work for Apple.
