Google censors Android
 

It appears that the search engine Google is very upset with people talking about sex on its Android operating system.

Wired noticed that in the latest version of Android, the predictive text won't recognise the words "sex," "intercourse" or "screwing," among others.

Looking under the bonnet of the source code, Wired discovered an "obsessive" and "baffling" list of 1,400 words that Google wants to protect its users from seeing.

On the list are the words "coitus" and other medical and anatomical terms and words such as "panty." All that is missing is a fear of a woman's ankle.

Wired correctly points out that the list suggests that Google has a surprising discomfort with sexuality, reproductive health and undergarments.
