Image by consequenceofsound.files.wordpress.com

Apple has now taken censorship to a new level. According to an article from businessinsider.com, the media company has patented a new technology to not only detect swear words, but replace them with either beeping noises or other alternative words.

While this is merely a patent, it’s safe to assume that Apple will integrate this censorship feature into their future technologies. Intended to shield sensitive listeners to harsh words, some feel that the company has gone too far.

What do you think about this patent?
