Apple Censoring 'Jailbreak' in U.S. iTunes Store listings

Apple has begun censoring the word "jailbreak" in the U.S. iTunes Store. While not all mentions of the word are affect, most of them across all content types are currently being censored to "j*******k".

It is unclear what the company is trying to achieve with its iTunes Store censoring, which affects such content as Thin Lizzy's song and album and an episode of the The Roy Rogers Show from the early 1950s. 

The censoring only appears to only affect the U.S. iTunes Store at the present time, but it has been in effect for over eight hours now.
