Tim Cook, president of the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, delayed the release of the series carpool Karaoke in Apple Music because there was too much swearing in the material filmed by the producers. Yes, you read that right, the president of the Apple company did not want the Carpool Karake series in Apple Music to contain swear words, so the launch was delayed by a few weeks so that they could be removed from the episodes of the series.
Tim Cook has asked the producers to remove all swearing and references to women's intimate hygiene before the Carpool Karaoke launch takes place. Although the series was created based on the idea of the stars having fun while driving a car around Los Angeles and doing karaoke, for the Apple company some of their statements were too "dirty" to be part of the production offered through Apple Music .
"Days before Apple Inc. planned to celebrate the release of his first TV show last spring at a Hollywood hotel, Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook told his deputies the fun had to wait. Foul language and references to vaginal hygiene had to be cut from some episodes of Carpool Karaoke, a show featuring celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Alba, Blake Shelton, and Chelsea Handler cracking jokes while driving around Los Angeles."
May seem strange for many people, but the Apple company is one where principles matter a lot, and what Tim Cook did is not far from the philosophy of those from Cupertino. Not even Steve Jobs wanted applications with pornographic content, even mild ones, to appear in the AppStore, this policy being maintained even now, and Tim Cook takes things further, although there is music with swearing in the iTunes Store.
It is possible that in the not-too-distant future we will hear stories of this kind in which various productions for Apple Music required changes to eliminate trivial language.
