> Private censorship is censorship

There is such a thing as “Self censorship” but that basically means keeping your damn fool mouth shut out of respect for yourself and others.

That’s different from being forced to keep quiet under penalty of law.

Self-censorship is a bit different but this isn't self-censorship. This isn't apple choosing the words in their own communications. This is a keyboard imposing rules on all their users.

It is not imposing any rules on their users. This is the software mechanically speaking on Apple’s behalf, by offering quick suggestions. Users are still allowed to type whatever they want.
