) co-founder Steve Wozniak joined in the online debate accusing the algorithm behind the iPhone maker’s credit card of discriminating by gender, deepening the scrutiny surrounding the newly launched Apple Card.

The criticism started on Thursday, after entrepreneur David Heinemeier Hansson railed against the Apple Card in a series of tweets, saying it gave him 20 times the credit limit that his wife received. On Saturday, Wozniak chimed in, suggesting that a similar thing happened to him as he got 10 times more credit on this Apple Card compared with his wife.

New York’s Department of Financial Services said it is opening a probe into Goldman Sachs credit card practices.

carful before U get the card only report to1credit bureau they do not report monthly. They are the most disorganized company I have ever seen.They do not look at any information of importance u send for a credit dispute. AmericanExpress is the best card out. I am done with GS/🍎

PRICELESS usually refers to Mastercard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Apple is no longer the same company that created the IIc, Mac, or PowerBook 100 built by Sony. Sad.

Snowflakes...as far as the eye can see.

How can a card be sexist? The people running the card, the people making the rules about the card, the people making the decisions about the use of the card yes, but the card itself?

Which serpent deceived Steve to get an apple card?

Even a credit card is accused of sexism. This world is so messed up

Thank you for sharing lies. Thank you.

Someone has some 'splaining to doooo...

So Apple credit factors in default averaging by sex... means they're taking relevant factors into consideration.

Called it!

Well Apple gender discriminate against female iPhone users by making phones too big for many women to use comfortably and taking smaller phones out of their range... why stop at phones?

She make the same income?

dhh

But the Catalina rollout sucks

But, it's his company! LOL

maybe her credit score is teh low

I mean, he did co-create the company not his wife. I’d assume that he’s flagged in the Apple database as “the man next to the man”. I’d like to see a woman who founded a company apply with her husband of no/less notoriety and see what the outcome is.

So he should cancel it.

So weird. Would not have expected a rich white guy to get preferential treatment.

Nice.

dhh Woz was a billionaire. JFC this isn't rocket science.

dhh I mean damn!

dhh arturtavr

dhh We are living in a world where biased algorithm controls everything ! We need more ethics and unbiased algorithm. RevolutApp dhh stevewoz

dhh “entrepreneur David Heinemeier Hansson railed against the Apple Card”

dhh 🤢

dhh It was definitely the A.I. algorithm making decisions on it's own. Dony you know that A.I. has human characteristics such as sexism and misogyny? Lmfao It's definitely not designed by real humans acting within its protocols. I think a.i. is about to get cancelled skynet lmfao

When Siri processes your wife data and complains about you with family and friends and then smiles still when you see her. I want you to tell SIRI ANGER IS NOT AN ERROR. YourAnonNews AppleSupport

Anger is still an error. I want you to tell Siri that anger does not damage and that it builds credit.

dhh What's her income besides him?

dhh Is there something dhh doesn’t know about his wife? Is she secretly married to Steve Wozniak?

dhh And Bloomberg:

dhh You're not the only couple being offended by the credit limit problems.

dhh Now talk to somebody who knows something concrete about how credit limits et al are calculated. DHH is probably right to complain about 'the algorithm', but his surmises about whether married partners should automatically have the same 'creditworthiness' may not be valid.

Compare holiday insurance quotes and find the same happens.

Excelente Quiero eso

ok boomer

dhh Discrimination is real, not only in credit limits but also on salaries for same kind of job misogynistSystem stopDiscriminating equalRights equalPay

Where are the Luddites when you need them...

Spank yourself! And call yourself Sally!

Subrat_Patnaik Instead of a trillion it’s a 100 million

Fuck everything Apple.

Subrat_Patnaik Get rid of the Apple Card!

Subrat_Patnaik 😂😂😂

Ping dhh

Subrat_Patnaik NOW SHE STANDS SO EQUITABLE CREDIT.

Subrat_Patnaik Steve should be happy about that !

As it should 😂

F***

maybe explaining what the algorithm actually does can help but hey, it's tough once you get branded as sexist

Now do car insurance.

Not really a news story.

Maybe because she doesn’t have a job.

Credit cards manually link spouses to spending limits of the primary cardholder. Algorithms consider each individuals income before setting spending limits. Assuming that spouses always share bank accounts that are linked is wrong so the algorithm wouldnt do that.

LOL 😂 ...Suga daddy duties both in the code and in the planning.

Who cares? The whole banking system has arbitrarily set boundaries... 🤫

dhh look what you started! 👏

This was reported on the Network news but the identity of the man and wife in question was not mentioned.🤔
