Google
has reportedly banned a list of more than 1,400 English words deemed
inappropriate for the users of latest Android KitKat.
The
latest version of Android has a special directory of words, like
intercourse, coitus, screwing, lovemaking, butt, geek, and medical terms
like gonadatrophia, irrumination, thud, LSAT, pizzle, as well as
related to reproductive health and undergarments like Tampax, lactation,
preggers, panty, braless, uterus, STI, condom which do not appear in
the autocomplete feature of the OS, Wired reports.
However,
the filter for this directory can be disabled in the Google Keyboard
settings, which makes all words both swipeable and available for
autocomplete, the report added.
According to
the report, the bizarre dictionary has a zero tolerance policy on
morphine, demerol and barbituric acid precursor malonylurea, while
marijuana, methamphetamine and even bong are allowed in it.
Islam-related
words Sunni and Iftar are censored, but many others related to the
Muslim faith and other religions are acceptable, the report added.
