'Barely Legal Teen' like phrases not to be accepted by Apple's iCloud


In its latest pornography censorship move, Apple has announced that any e-mail containing the phrase 'barely legal teen' will be automatically deleted, beside other inappropriate terminology it was revealed this week.

The automated spam filter to emails whether they're raunchy or not was discovered after testing emails containing the phrase in different orders - despite even innocently used.

E-mails like the following will also be filtered and deleted:
'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.'



However, a spokeswoman for Apple admits that their automatic spam filters occasionally blocks legitimate emails from being delivered.

'Occasionally, automated spam filters may incorrectly block legitimate email,' that spokesperson told Macworld. 'If the customer feels that a legitimate message is blocked, we encourage customers to report it to AppleCare.'

It may b e added that Apple has long been anti-pornography with like apps banned from being sold in their app store as well as similar content in their iBookstore.
