2) How many #HK customers complained to Apple about the app? The app is widely popular in HK & I've never met anyone who has a problem with it. 3) Apple appears to be relying on HK police as its source of info. Hardly disinterested, the police are a party to the conflict.

4) In fact, the app is used by citizens to protect themselves from the police, who have repeatedly over many months used disproportionate & excessive force. This has been well documented by the media & human rights orgs. Apple's not 'taking the side of the law' but taking sides.

5) Lastly, Apple claims the app 'violates..local laws'. Which? As far as I am aware, http://HKmap.live violates no local laws. There's certainly no law against mapping police locations. On this point, it seems Apple's just making things up.

Very disappointing, all the more so given that Apple appears to have caved to political pressure from the
#CCP. The latest in a series of Western corporate kowtows to a dictatorial regime intent on denying & abusing the rights of its citizens.Show this thread -
Of course, it won't stop us from fighting for our rights & http://HKmap.live is still available from other sources. But we'll remember that when it was time to
#StandWithHongKong, Apple very deliberately decided to stand on the wrong side of justiceShow this thread

This just shows why the US govt must force companies to decouple from China. Short term pain for long term benefits.

So called "law enforcement" IS THE DANGER. There is no law enforcement in HK now, only enforcement of the regime's political will.
