I wouldn't be surprised if they trained a model on text scraped from somewhere like pornhub and this was the result. It's only surprising they didn't accidentally catch more ethnic terms.
- Hamuko 6y agoDoes it also block "teen" and "lesbian"?
- henrywalker 6y agoIt does in fact block "teen", but not "lesbian".
- ndiscussion 6y agoI wonder why?
- coldtea 6y agoBecause it's 2021. In 1990 or even 2000 it would have also blocked lesbian.
- ndiscussion 6y agoI'm implying that Apple likely looked for that term specifically and unblocked it, while they didn't care to check for the term Asian. But I wonder why?
- coldtea 6y agoI implied the same, and also kind of gave away the reason: because it's trendy for companies to pretend to care for LGBTQ now, and censoring it in 2021 would be a faux pas (Yes, Cook is himself gay, but that's not it, because he never was one for causes. Despite being ultra-powerful and rich, he only "went for the cause" for himself and Apple after it became Disney-safe to do so and every company did it - unlike the gay pioneers of the 60s to 90s who did it under really hostile environments).
- henrywalker 6y agoIt seems to block "ebony" as well, which is often used to refer to black people in adult content.
