Apple censors app used by HK protesters
jeudi 10 octobre 2019 à 02:00Apple has censored an application designed to help Hong Kong protesters communicate.
Apple surely did this because of threats from China. (We are not supposed to suggest that a "good corporate citizen" would uphold freedom at the cost of profits.) But the reason Apple could do this is that it gave itself censorship power over applications for iMonsters, through the proprietary code of the operating system.
