Apple rejects a map that only displays Hong Kong locations as illegal? Maybe this really is Apple sucking up to China rather than f bureaucratic screw-up? @HKmaplive only reports locations: road closures, tear gas, police presence. IT REPORTS LOCATIONS AND DOES NOTHING ELSE.https://twitter.com/hkmaplive/status/1179108329240424448 …

First downplaying the hacking scandal with China targeting Uighurs (no small issue!), and now rejecting apps that Hongkongers use to stay safe? I like
@Apple's privacy tools, but what's going on? Will China, with its big market, just muscle its way to Western products? Seems so.Show this thread -
This is a good, detailed thread on why
@Apple's "encouraging illegal activity" excuse for rejecting a Hong Kong map app is nonsense. If anything, it's the kind of app that allows people to comply with police orders and/or staying safe.https://twitter.com/Pinboard/status/1179233095473602560 …Show this thread -
By
@Apple’s logic, waze should have been banned long time ago. It’s worse than http://HKmap.live by any logic. But it’s up, but HongKongers can’t have an app that let’s them be safe and comply with police.https://twitter.com/donparkison/status/1179242555889848320 …Show this thread
