Reading the Article further, it seems that the censorship idea and carriage can be attributed to:

'The app is the brainchild of a mother and father from Idaho, Jared and Kirsten Maughan, who were concerned when their daughter began reading library books with “pretty significant swear words”. They couldn’t find an app that would help them remove the offensive words, so they worked with the Chicago firm Page Foundry to create a “profanity-filtering” programme.'

I have no intentions of poking my finger at these people in the US, because we've no doubt got the same wowsers here in Aus just waiting for a bandwagon to jump on.
