Apple’s Deleting iCloud Emails That Contain The Phrase ‘Barely Legal Teens'

You think Apple’s got your back?

According to CultOfMac, in its latest push to get porn off your computer, Apple now deletes all iCloud emails that contain the phrase ‘barely legal teens.’ It doesn’t send the messages to spam, or flag them, it just straight up deletes them, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Apple has a well-documented history of banning everything that has anything to do with pornography, even if it’s only remotely related.

This was reported as a possible one time glitch but users have been able to replicate it. The original guy who discovered it, Steve G created a PDF containing the line: “All my children are barely legal teens — why would I want to let them drive by themselves?” And Apple’s servers deleted it. Then he just typed that phrase in a regular email and it was blocked too.

No legal teens for you!
