What again, @Apple? (And yes, @qz coverage of Hong Kong protests has been great!) https://twitter.com/jkeefe/status/1182023843725971457 …

And Apple banned
@hkmaplive again. This is an app Hong Kong residents use to stay safe and avoid tear gas. It’s much more law-enforcement friendly than, say, waze. History will remember all this groveling to authoritarians. Apple has $245 billion in cash. https://twitter.com/hkmaplive/status/1182136794646757377 …zeynep tufekci added,

@Apple should immediately release details of where and how “Hong Kong police have been ambushed” using this app. I know of no reports of “ambushes.” Meanwhile, I constantly saw kids caught in tear gas in Hong Kong. This app helps people avoid that.https://twitter.com/kongtsunggan/status/1182146601608863745 …zeynep tufekci added,
Kong Tsung-gan / 江松澗 @KongTsungGanThis@Apple statement justifying the removal of http://HKmap.live from its App Store is wrong in so many ways, it's hard to know where to begin. 1) Could Apple please show us the evidence of how the app has been used 'in ways that endanger law enforcement & residents'? pic.twitter.com/BXprxCWRM6Show this thread4 replies 132 retweets 291 likesShow this thread -
And
@tim_cook please change your profile quote. If Apple cannot let an app that helps families with children avoid tear gas in Hong Kong stay in the app store, it sounds like you have other urgent questions. “We have $245 billion cash on hand. Urgent question, how much more?”pic.twitter.com/GpRbKcT1Pg

Yep. Waze (not there to help people avoid tear gas but get away with speeding, which is actually dangerous) can stay on
@Apple, but@hkmaplive is banned on a false claim. ("Police ambush"?
Not a single such report and why would it be an open app then??) https://twitter.com/JacobFloat/status/1182274143460429825 …zeynep tufekci added,

It reports the locations of traffic police, which helps speeders avoid tickets. I'm referring to that function, not the traffic jam part.

Replying to @sfmnemonic @zeynep and
