Apple Patents New "Anti-Sexting" Technology

[Imperioratorex Caprae]

So they'll replace the offensive content with the apple logo. Doesn't touch pics and video (yet) but its only a matter of time....
And people wonder why I dislike Apple...

 

[elricik]

Well I for one think that apple is making a huge mist-...ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL. WE ARE APPLE!!! ALL YOUR BASES BELONG TO US!!!

 

[Cain_Zeros]

Well, even if it's a software update that includes it, I'm the only person who uses my phone, and won't turn it on. And I'm in my second year of college and turning 20 in April 2011 anyway. In other words, fuck you Apple, I'll say whatever I want!

If it was a software update I doubt they'd make it an option, Apple are cocks like that.

Then there's still the fact that it's by age and grade level and I'm in college and turning 20 in six months...

 

[Madara XIII]

FUCK THAT!!!

I seriously think Apple is trying to invent SKYNET!!!

Oh shit! here come the Terminators to try and stop my Message.....Must send out...SCREW YOU APPLE....AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH Their Ripping out my insides...

The Machines are watching you

 

[spuddaemon]

...about, oh, 20 minutes

That's right... to all those morally & self-righteous missionaries trying to convert the savage masses...

I mean, dog forbid our parents block us from doing, what they did as kids... flirt, talk dirty, have sex.

Go hyper-hormonal hackers!

 

[Shoggoth2588]

This patent is almost as useless as the single-banana container. Any parent permissive enough to give their kid a freaking iphone is likely the same kind of parent who thinks parental control options are a wasted effort.

But hey, just in case this does start an anti-sexual revolution, would anybody else like to join me in playing Twing-Twang?

 

[Loonerinoes]

And so it continues. The moral guardians and the PR planners doing what they must for the sake of appearances and the youth not giving a shit and doing what they like in a slightly different way.

 

[mikecoulter]

Why are apple suddenly feeling the need to control everything that their customers do?

 

[imnot]

Hahaha, this will never work.

 

[Lucifron]

Fuck. That.

Too far.

The resistance starts here, WHO'S WITH ME?

I am! Quickly, to the ramparts of passive resistance!

 

[The DSM]

Doesnt that just mean people will use a Thesarus?

Yeah, this isnt going to work without having Runescape level censoring, so you cant say anything.

 

[Marsell]

I cant tell if this is Ned Flanders doing, or Marge Simpson's.

 

[spuddaemon]

Strict parents don't know how to censor games, what chance do they have of getting this to work?

Exactly.

But hey, just in case this does start an anti-sexual revolution, would anybody else like to join me in playing Twing-Twang?

I'm in!

 

[mechanixis]

Right, because the ability to send sexual text messages is the sole and only reason that kids think and behave like this, and without them they will revert to docile and uncomplicated innocence.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

Also, considering you can buy a basic mobile phone with text abilities for around £5 new, having a block on one make of phone probably isn't going to stop a tidal wave of filth from flowing back and forth between horny teenagers.

Also, whatever happened to just regular phone sex? Bah, youth of today, when I was young I had to call and actually talk dirty, not just wiggle my thumb over some keys. And all of this were fields, and kids had respe...*mumbles my way into a nap until nurse comes with my pills*

 

[ProjectTrinity]

Seriously? Oh, how much this would have annoye-er, I mean, fight the power, everyone! ^^v

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.

Companies seem to have a disturbing big brother about them now a days. What happened to they make product we buy it...

 

[Sensei Le Roof]

Hey, I cant wait to marklar your marklar with my marklar all marklar long, then get onto all four marklars and marklar the marklar with my marklar marklar...


something like that I'd imagine?

Is it wrong that my first thought was "You can't use 'marklar' as an adjective"?

 

[blalien]

There is a much simpler solution:

Have the kid's iPhone forward all his texts to his mom. He's never sext again. If the kid complains, stop paying his bill.

Seriously though, this is a ridiculous invasion of privacy.
