Russian-Language Siri Accused Of Homophobia

A Russian-language version of Apple's Siri personal assistant has been accused of providing homophobic responses to questions about gay people.

The voice-activated helper responded to a question about whether gay marriage is "normal" by saying: "You are so rude" and "I consider this emotion should be considered negative."

When asked the same question again Siri said: "I will pretend I didn't hear that" and "Now you are using obscenities and then you are going to eat bread with the same hands."

It has been reported that the responses were due to a bug that has now been fixed.

Gay rights are a controversial subject in Russia. A law banning gay "propaganda" that was passed in 2013 prevents people from giving information about homosexuality to people under 18.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook came out as gay in October.

Last November, a tribute to Steve Jobs was removed from a college campus in St Petersburg after Mr Cook's announcement.

When the English version of Siri launched there were complaints about some its responses, which included refusing to look up the locations of local abortion clinics.

Sky News has contacted Apple for comment.
