"Fascist"? That's old naming tactics. He is now "nazi" or plain "Hitler" which is the next level. When this talking point gets exhausted, it's time to start calling him a "terrorist" which is arguably, somehow worst. Beyond that, it is directly "non-human", which is the ultimate insult (top-level). But again, please stick to "nazi" for the time being, its the oficial naming scheme policy.
I reckon it’s intentional. Like the Easter egg is the Music app that “randomly” played me the Cure’s “10:45 Saturday Night” right on 10:45 on a Saturday night.
If true, then why don’t we see mass demonstrations and politicians who react strongly against all this? Is it fear already? Do Americans live as many Russians this soon (see nothing, hear nothing, say nothing…just continue daily life)? No more American dream, but dreaming Americans?
Maybe a vast majority approves?

Over what? It isn’t libel and since could be considered political speech my hunch it would be protected.
News sites can’t be so flippant with language. If they claim it’s deliberate and Apple sue them, it would be up to MacRumors to prove their claim. Given how the losers don’t pay all court costs for both sides in the USA like they do in many other countries, I doubt MacRumors could afford a legal battle even if they did win, given half their articles are basically sponsored ads they make money off.
Nope it’s actually some real intelligence 😂
There are demonstrations. They happened during the first Trump administration. They are happening again, but not being covered as much. The media has gone out of its way to soft-pedal Trump's more dictatorial actions. And, yes, in groups which organize protests there is quite a lot of discussion on whether one should participate and if so the do, what should they do to protect themselves from being ID'ed and picked up by unmarked federal law enforcement (as Trump had done during protests in 2020).

Yeah unlike us folks commenting on anything and everything on a tech site forum 🤣
LOL let’s see in a year or two, if God doesn’t punish him and his supporters first.
1. I don't see in what universe flipping "Trump" with "racist" in dictation app is not a deliberate action but just a random bug. Pointing this fact is not a reason for a lawsuit.
2. Apple obviously will fix the "issue" and bury this story, because it's in their best interest for everyone to forget this ever happened.
3. It curious that you suggest that Apple may file a lawsuit against Macrumors, not because this site has been publishing information on unreleased Apple products for the past two decades, most of which easily constitute trade secrets and are result of unlawful internal leaks, but because of random article where they suggested that a "bug" might not be actually a "bug".
Common...this excuse is pathetic.
Somebody at Apple pulled a fast one
Racist and the word Trump are not phonetically similar
I’m surprised at Apple for giving the explanation that it did

It’s painfully obvious you have zero experience with the legal system, waving you arms around and saying something to the effect of “come on it’s obvious!” is not a legal defence, and reporting on product leaks that someone else leaked is something different entirely, in those situations the person who leaked the product was the one punished, not the tech sites reporting on it. I see no point in engaging with you further on this matter.
I don't see a problem, it's just Siri exercising her Freedom of Speech, remember when Musk called a diver who was rescuing trapped children in a cave a pedophile even though he wasn't and with no evidence and then there was no consequence for his slander because 'Merica.
I mean there are hundreds of hours of Trumps’ speeches disparaging and insulting women, foreign people, political rivals and so on with supporters cheering him, if you people want to support the guy at least accept who he is and who you are.
Good to know!
Worrying.
Sounds like Russia in earlier stages.
Thank you. I hope there will be a more unified larger protest. A protest nobody can ignore. I realize, that’s getting more difficult as time goes by.Federal Officers Use Unmarked Vehicles To Grab People In Portland, DHS Confirms

Stating it as an “issue” is not making a claim. It’s 100% neutral.
It’s painfully obvious you didn’t read what I wrote and just responded with your own prepared answer, calling it an “issue” can never invoke any legal penalty, your argument makes zero sense.
I agree. This is unacceptable and not funny. Doesn't matter what side of the political spectrum you're on. Just imagine the outcry from the left if the situation was reversed...
I skipped past a tiktok about this cause I assumed it was BS. Just another example of why they won. People getting tired of these ‘accidents’.
Probably done by the same diverse genius activists who "redesigned" the Photos app. Apple needs same cleanup the government is going through now.
