One of the most frustrating things for a lot of people is listening to a piece of rap music when half of it is censored, but Apple has just taken ‘censorship’ to whole new level on the US iTunes Store, replacing most mentions of the word ‘jailbreak’ with a series of asterisks.
As noted by iOS hacker @planetbeing, the change has only taken effect on the US iTunes store so far and affects nearly everything that uses the term ‘jailbreak’, from apps to books to music and even iTunes U. Shoutpedia estimate that 95% of ‘jailbreak’ words are censored, some terms escaping censorship presumably because they are spelt in two words, ‘jail break’.
Update 5/18/12: The word “Jailbreak” is no longer being censored.
