Apple Lifts Ban On the Word "Jailbreak"

Posted by timothy on Sunday May 20, 2012 @04:33AM from the sweet-of-them dept.

Gunkerty Jeb writes "After banning the word 'jailbreak' from its app store and music library, Apple [Friday] reversed course and again permits the term — slang for hacking into a device to download unauthorized content — to appear on iTunes and its App Store. On Thursday bloggers noticed Apple had censored the word, using the Thin Lizzy album 'Jailbreak' as an example. For awhile, the title was listed as 'J******k' in Apple's music library, at least its U.S. version. In other instances, digital content continued to bear the full name Jailbreak."

Obviously you don't understand the saying. Malicious peoples are far more likely to disguise themselves as incompetent.
