Sexting.

[pa_broon74]

Its in the US but since these things tend to find their way over the water at some point...

The US patent and Trademarking authority has granted a Patent that'll filter out naughty words in text messages. Essentially, your iphone won't let you send swear words.

If you've ever had a look at the inbox of a phone that belongs to a 14 year boy, its not just the naughty words they'll need to filter out.

So many flaws with this plan

Decreased sales
New words being made all the time

etc

[warped one]

I was thinking the exact same thing as artist.

How many different names are there for certain things that are rude in one context are perfectly normal in another.

I want to stroke your pussy,
You have a loverly pair of baps,
Fancy a wriggle,
Ect....

A ban on sending swear words? Sounds a little close to "demolition man" to me

Quote
'Having actually read the patent claims and part of the body, I find nothing at all related to sending anything to “Apple’s text messaging servers”. There are no references to servers in the claims, and only one in the body, which refers to a server from which incoming messages are fetched. That’s how SMS and e-mail work.

As far as I can see, this is intended for on-device filtering enabled through the phone’s parental controls preferences. (The phrase “parental control application” actually occurs several times.)

The patent is actually about language filtering that’s better than a simple dictionary blacklist approach, with (oddly enough) an eye towards forcing children to write a minimum portion of their texts in a specific language, which is presented as a foreign language learning aid.'

Freedom of fucking speech - fuck yeah. The cunt-faced ass-fuck who came up with this cock-sucking idea should get his head examined by a dick sent through the skull eye socket.

It is a patent. It doesn't mean that it will ever be implemented and its just Apple gaining away to stop competitors implementing a feature.

Freedom of speech, besides this is just the idea of some geek that never got laid.

[hellkat]

So yeah, freedom of speech, consenting adults, etc., etc.

I'd be wondering why more people aren't veto-ing Apple products quite vehemently for that level of threatened shenanigans.

If I owned one ... I prolly would.
I don't even own an I-anything.

Fuckers. They'll be trying to claim copyright on the fuckin word "I" next and we'll all be going round saying "one" and pretending we're the fuckin queen.

Apple: I-wankers.

Some could argue it's an infringement on civil liberties, if id rather a certain word not be used il use an alternative myself, the restriction starts here... what next?
