I know several people who have confirmed that if they use voice to text on their Apple device and say "racist", that it will briefly flash Trump before showing racist.

Absolutely intentional things like that don't happen by accident. Apple needs to be held accountable for it so that Apple then holds its employees accountable.

Accountable for what exactly? They are a private entity they can do whatever they want on their website. If it's just pairing words with commonly associated phrases, oh well?

It's sort of a dumb thing to do, but making dumb business choices isn't illegal.

Sue the company for libel perhaps, and in turn the company could fire the person responsible for costing the company money. And if this action doesnt fall under the libel laws, at least hold them to account but making it as public as possible to help turn people off to apple products, and hurting them in the wallet.

Of course a private company can do as they please, but if an employee is costing the company money i cant imagine they would want to keep them around.

I am quite tired of the left calling everyone racist or sexist, etc.. just because you dont agree with them.
