Steve Jobs once promised that Apple products would provide the world “freedom from porn,” and it looks like Apple is taking that “freedom” directly to your private e-mail. MacWorld reported this morning:
Apple’s iCloud email service deletes all emails that contain the phrase “barely legal teen” it was revealed today.
Macworld has tested this by sending two test emails from a personal iCloud account. The message read “My friend’s son is already allowed to drive his high-powered car. It’s ridiculous. He’s a barely legal teenage driver? What on earth is John thinking.”
The second email amended the phrase “a barely legal” to “barely a legal”. This second email was delivered fine, whereas the first is still undelivered.
I bet every tech journalist in the world is right now sending the filthiest e-mails imaginable from their iCloud accounts.
ONLY PAUL CONSTANT COULD TAKE A HEADLINE CONTAINING “BARELY LEGAL TEENS” AND MAKE A POST THIS BORING OUT OF IT.
“barely legal teen” (i.e., legal) = apparently a no-no.
“almost legal teen” (definitely illegal) = just fine?
“nowhere near legal teen” (waaay illegal) = just as fine??
What about “middle school gang bang”? Is that filtered? Where’s the master list? Who authored it?
What about what will be the best porn (and title) of all-time, that i’m producing for a fall release, called ‘Steve hand-Jobs’? Are you telling me that i should use my Yahoo! account and/or borrow someone’s Dell when marketing it?
I’d like to suggest that we all agree to call the period of time between now and December 31, 2019 “The Barely Legal Teens”.
