Microsoft updating Zune HD Twitter to stop censoring tweets
Microsoft definitely copped some of Apple’s lame App Store antics with its tweet-censoring Zune HD Twitter app , so now it’s time for the infuriatingly vague PR-speak backtracking — Redmond just pinged us to say it’s “identified the issue” with the Twitter app and that a naughty words-enabling update is coming “as soon as possible.” That’s a pretty lame response, considering the “issue” is that the app is coded to actively censor tweets — not exactly an “oops” moment, you know? Here’s the entire statement: The recently released Twitter for Zune HD application has been abbreviating some explicit words in tweets when viewed on the device; however these explicit words do appear in their full text on the Twitter site or on any other Twitter client.
