FYI: Big Bad Apple censored this from their discussions because they don't want anyone to know what they are doing.
Recently upon updating my Craigslist app "CraigSearch" and after downloading all of the CL apps, I found that Apple has taken upon itself you censor out sections (personals) of CL because "They contain offensive content" Well I guess switching production of all apple products to China has had an effect. Apple is now thinking like the PRC government and turning the iPhone into the iNanny. What is next? Censoring Safari? Deleting offensive mail before it is pushed through Mobile Me?
Answer me this one? How can you censor CraigSearch but not YouTube? We all know there is "offensive" material on YouTube. What about Safari? Are you going to preload a "Net Nanny"?
I have something to say to all the "We have to protect our children" people. I say sure, but that is YOUR job to do. I don't care what Hillary has to say about "It takes a village". I don't have kids, don't want them and never will have them. So why am I forced to live in a bubble just to "protect YOUR children"? How about placing the responsibility onto the parents where it should be. Parents today are just too lazy to actively parent. They are out gossiping with several friends sipping their Caramel Macchiatos, oblivious to little Timmy running, screaming and tearing down displays.
If you are going to give a kid an iPhone then YOU are placing offensive content into their hands, so you should deal with it yourself. Don't force censorship on my life just because you want to keep your kid in a bubble. Don't force me into that bubble too. If you want true censorship for you and your kid, I suggest moving to China. The government has already set up censorship for you. It's ready to go, just move. That's it! On a serious note, Might I suggest a Disney Phone instead of a $400 smartphone for your kids to use? Or how about a jitterbug where you can program 911 and one or two other numbers (parents)? Why give a kid an internet phone then try to censor the world around them. Try parenting for a change. Why does a kid need a phone anyway?
As for Apple, remember the award winning ad in 1984 directed by Ridly Scott, where a woman in a track uniform runs into the "establishment" (i.e. IBM), where the masses are fed propaganda via a large video screen and then she throws a hammer at the screen breaking up the "mind control" of the people? Well, I suggest you get back to the Steve/Steve 1970s hippy attitude before we all start fitting ourselves with track outfits.
Does Apple R&D really read these things? Do they really care anymore?
FYI - a previous poster in apple discussions "a troll" said I'll have to find an escort using my mac instead. Well I am using CL to find a LTR and not an escort. This type of trolling and baiting is what clouds the issue of Apple's censorship which is serious.
