Apple Patents New "Anti-Sexting" Technology

[Darzen]

*Ring ring ring*
"Hi jenny it's me jeff"
"Hey jeff...wait why aren't you sexting me?"
"My parents set up a blocker on my phone so we can't sext each other without them aproving the messages."
"That sucks. why don't you come over here and we could "Talk" about it."
"Sure jenny i ove "Talking" with you at your house."
" You could help me study the Trojan war"
"OK i'll be there in a bit."

Gee texting sure is the problem isn't it?it's not like Phones serve any other purposes.

I reckon the old "I wanna put my meat in your taco" will bypass that little inconvenience quite effectively.

Looks like the kids are going to have to stick to good old fashion webcams and chat rooms.

i thought this was kinda funny just to imagine

What's more disturbing, is that teens that sext one another are being thrown onto the sex offender registry

The thing is though, they are only making it because there is a demand for it. I wouldn't put all the blame on Apple.

But you know what, I'm okay with this. It will create a flow of new euphemism for sex.

The monster with two backs...

that's not new shakespeare called it that in the 1500's

 

[Clarity112]

didnt this happen in 1984.....

I wonder how many people in this thread shitting a brick are of the age where what their parents think isn't much of an issue anymore?

This isn't some doomsday Big Brother takeover, it's the V chip for texts. A tool for parents to voluntarily dictate how the service they pay for is being used. Don't like it? Get a job and pay for your own phone.

Penn & Teller did an episode on Sexting and Teenage sex.

 

[Gorog2]

Fuck. That.

Too far.

The resistance starts here, WHO'S WITH ME?

Count me in, We need our right to free speach.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Spoiler: And for the lulz

So we'll just get the same problem of people finding a work-around for this situation. When slang gets banned, just make more slang!

Please. There's a simple solution to this.

I doubt the filter will catch any dirty language in Al Bhed [http://www.pixelscapes.com/twoflower/albhed.html].

We are Apple. Clean up your messages and surrender your rights. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

You sir are made of Win, take the week off!

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Fuck. That.

Too far.

Fighting a corporation? I'm down.

OT:

Seriously though, I can say with all assuredness now that apple is terrible. They have no product that I know of that does not have a vastly superior counterpart made by a different company. In addition, this innovation is idiotic.

And this is why I don't use iPhones or indeed any iProducts. They're iGarbage.

I can understand the idea of 'protecting' a child from inappropriate things. But with children, saying 'you can't do this' just makes them want to do it more.

When will these 'responsible adults' learn this? You make a big deal out of something, kids make a big deal out of it too. This is a big reason there's such a huge booze and sex culture among teenagers...

Sounds a wee bit more like Google. Not to start a flame war, but Google does support Net Neutrality. (With Verizon.)

In a perfect world teenagers would step around it by sexting in Victorian prose.

'Verily I hold thy bosoms firmly and staunchily press them against the lustful volume arising in my loins :-D'
