Apple's Porn Filter Makes Finding Asian Food Difficult

The iOS 13 content filter is supposed to prevent dirty pages from being accessed on the Internet. However, the search term restriction is far too strict, as one user has found: ordinary search combinations, for example with the word "Asian", are completely blocked.

The developer Charlie Stigler has pointed out on Twitter that the content filter of iOS 13 is too strict. With the filter function, Google searches for supposedly offensive terms can be blocked within the screen time limit, for example, to prevent children and adolescents from accessing pornographic content.

Annoyingly, however, the function in the Safari browser blocks almost all search combinations that contain the term "Asian" - including "Asian food", "Asian history" and other combinations. However, the term "Asians" is not blocked. The combination "Asian NFL" is also available; it is unclear why this is possible.

Also, not shown are searches for the term "teen". The pornographic background is visible here, but such a strict blocking also prevents teenagers from being able to find out about certain health aspects, for example, or to search for other harmless terms.

The filter is not consistently programmed to the end

A user reports in Stigler's thread that the search works without problems if he switches the search engine in Safari to Yahoo or Bing. It is also possible to navigate to the pages manually - the filter not only seems to be too strict with certain search terms but is also poorly implemented.

It is currently unknown to what extent Apple will change the algorithm. The list of blocked search terms is managed centrally by Apple, users have no way to activate certain terms anyway.

Amazon's Drones Should Also Be Used For Surveillance!

According to an Amazon patent, the in-house drones should not only deliver packages in the future but also be used for surveillance. Amazon customers should be able to book appropriate services.

For many years Amazon has been working on carrying packages with drones. If the aircraft does not ship packages, they should perform surveillance operations, according to a new Amazon patent. The patent indicates that the company wants to market "unmanned aerial vehicle surveillance as a service". Customers could choose to fly over their locations every week, every day or every hour, the newspaper The Independent writes.

The US Patent Office has approved the underlying patent on June 18. Any concerns about privacy are met by the patent with the promise to monitor only previously authorized areas. According to the British Daily Mail, both property owners and nearby residents must agree to surveillance.

Recently, Amazon has presented a new model of its autonomous delivery docks. The drone is said to be about the size of a human and "able to detect static and moving objects," said Jeff Wilke, Worldwide Consumer CEO at Amazon. The company uses real-time image recognition developed specifically for the drone. This could also be used for surveillance purposes. Alternatively, the images could also be evaluated in the cloud or by humans. Suspicious is then the system as a warning by phone, send e-mail or SMS to the user, a security service, the police or the fire department.

In addition to the camera according to the patent further sensors are used, for example, a chemical sensor to be used for the detection of fires, noise sensors, and thermal imaging cameras.
