Apple Awarded Anti-Sexting Patent
eldavojohn writes "If your parenting skills aren't up to snuff, Apple's got a patent on the device that will allow you to control what your child sends and receives. Entitled 'Text-based communication control for personal communication device,' this patent uses examples like increasing the number of Spanish words your child receives so that they can better learn Spanish. You could even use it to control your child's grammar and spelling in outgoing text messages. But news sources seem to be focusing on the censorship issue that Apple has been criticized for before: 'The control is in line with earlier efforts adopted by Apple like Playboy which entered into a deal with Apple to censor its content to secure a place in App Store.' Perhaps the wives and agents of popular athletes would be more interested in this technology? Apple is certainly sending a message opposite to the one Microsoft advertises."

Seriously, someone needs to control eldavojohn's grammar and spelling in outgoing slashdot posts.

Were you drunk when you wrote this? Honestly, that's the worst excuse for correct grammar I've ever seen...
On the other hand, this laissez faire approach has apparently damaged your ability to spell.
