Notes censoring words on iOS 13

The user in question wrote the following sentence: “I am the stupidest thing that ever existed; life is fucking useless because sometime we'll all die and no one will care about us after a few years. ”

Instead of doing the sensible thing to do in this case, which would be to immediately give the boy the CVV number, Apple censored the word at the beginning of the text and replaced it with a blank line in the note's title suggestion.

O Cult of Mac He tested some other words and found that only terms considered heavier are censored by the Notes; others, lighter, are registered without problems.
