Researcher extracts Apple's macOS profanity word list
Original: I dumped Apple’s word list
A developer has extracted and published the internal word list Apple uses in macOS to flag vulgar or offensive text, such as in autocorrect and content filtering. The writeup explains how the list was dumped and what it reveals about how Apple decides which words to censor. Discussion centres on the surprising contents of the list and what it says about Apple's opaque content moderation choices built into its operating systems.
Why now: People find it interesting and controversial that Apple secretly embeds a censorship word list in macOS, and the exposed contents are being debated
