Screen Time limit on adult web sites prevents all searches with the word “Asian”

On iOS, if you turn on “Limit Adult Website” under Screen Time->Content Restrictions, Safari blocks any website URL containing the word “asian”. Seriously, go try it, it’s unbelievable.

This can’t be true, can it? Give it a try yourself:

  • Go to Settings > Screen Time
  • Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions
  • Enable Content & Privacy Restrictions switch
  • Tap Content Restrictions
  • Scroll down, tap Web Content
  • Tap Limit Adult Websites

Now fire up Safari and search for, say, Asian Food. Here’s the screen shot I got. In a nutshell, it says, “You cannot browse this page because it is restricted.”

Apple needs to fix this and figure out how this happened so it doesn’t happen again.
