Passed the red apple ban.
Apple's blacklist was discovered to contain up to 100,000 different obscene memes. No more "sex, drugs and rock and roll". It turned out to the "Apple vendor" that there is a huge hidden list of "forbidden" and politically incorrect words and phrases in many languages that the iOS virtual keyboard will not offer during autocomplete or gesture (swipe) input. A built-in "bar" in the iPhone keyboard was discovered by researcher Derrick Kaufman, founder of Blacklight, a start-up for "smart" detection of errors in scientific papers. Among Apple's "forbidden" is "Delicate terms" and phrases like "Sleepy Joe" (President Biden's nickname) and slang. He noticed that when using the smoothing input function, the system encountered several expressions. Smartphone and tablet users can enter any word in text messages or emails, but Apple Features won't suggest words from the list. That is, you can enter "bad" words and memes yourself, but Apple gadgets do not help with this. rough. but cunning. Kaufman called this doubt trick "soft censorship." In his estimation, most of the words and expressions on Apple's list are indeed vulgar, offensive, related to drugs, sex and violence. Some of them have a political connotation - for example, "Dictator Trump" or "Joe Sleepy". Apple was quick to explain that the keyboard is configured not to suggest words that may be inappropriate or offensive, emphasizing that iPhone users are not prohibited from typing any words, and suggestions for replacement can be declined. Using the OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Codex tools, Kaufman eventually discovered inventory hidden deep within Apple's iOS operating system. According to him, according to the most conservative estimates, there are at least 100 thousand such words and phrases. Does not include Chinese characters. Here are the numbers! Apple's concerns are understandable.
