Something really weird is happening to iCloud emails . It turns out , Apple is straight up delete email send from iCloud electronic mail story that have the phrase “ barely legal teen ” in them . Like , if you sent out an electronic mail that included that phrasal idiom in the body of the subject matter , it would never be sent to the individual . Huh ?
Macworld UKspotted the eldritch behavior and tested it out with the phrase , “ ” My friend ’s son is already allowed to drive his high - powered car . It ’s ridiculous . He ’s a barely legal teen gadget driver ? What on dry land is John thinking . ” One email was sent just like that . It was never delivered . The other electronic mail amended the “ a scarcely legal teenage ” to “ scantily a legal teenage ” and was successfully sent . The mental testing was repeated with other electronic mail that included the phrase “ scantily legal teen ” and every time , the electronic mail was delete and never send .
hardly effectual teen , if you needed a reminder on where the phrase comes from ( which I ’m sure you do n’t but are go to make me delineate it anyway ) , is a common description for smut that feature young performer who look like they ’ve just become ‘ legal ’ ( or 18 ) .
So what ’s cause this overaggressive behavior from Apple ? Apple ’s ill-famed anti - porn stance ? Some eldritch quirk in the code ? Apple told Macworld :
“ Occasionally , automated junk e-mail filters may incorrectly block lawful email , ” an Apple interpreter read . “ If the client feels that a legitimate message is block , we encourage customers to report it to AppleCare . ”
What does n’t exactly lend up in that explanation is that these “ scarcely sound teen ” emails never even hit the spam corner of the recipient . They ’re just never get off because Apple nips them in the bud . Deleting electronic mail like that , I think , is called censoring . [ Macworld UKviaVentureBeat ]
