Why Siri Can't Find Abortion Clinics & How It's Not An Apple Conspiracy - Search Engine Land

“I’m standing in front of a Planned Parenthood,” the CNN reporter says, “And Siri can’t find it when I search for abortion clinic.” No, it can’t. It’s not because Apple is pro-life. It’s because Planned Parenthood doesn’t call itself an abortion clinic.

You mean the ‘Apple and Siri are pro life!’ non-scandal might—just might—boil down to the simple limitations of technology, search engines, and shoddy knee-jerk “journalism”?

Please, someone. Anyone. Say it ain’t so.
