Apple Pulls Anti-Censorship Apps from China's App Store (fortune.com)
An anonymous reader quotes Fortune:Services helping Chinese users circumvent the "Great Firewall of China" have been pulled from Apple's Chinese App Store en masse. On Saturday morning, at least some software makers affected by the sweep received notification from Apple that their tools were removed for violating Chinese law. Internet censorship in China restricts communications about topics including democracy, Tibetan freedom, and the 1989 Tienanmen Square protests. The culling primarily seems to have affected virtual private networks, or VPNs, which mask users' Internet activity and data from outside monitoring. According to a report by the New York Times, many of the most popular such apps are now missing from the Chinese App Store.
The lefts "view" of China is so fucked up.
They decry oppression and then decry the capitalism that is rapidly alleviating most of it.
Every country that has industrialized has gone through growing pains. The people that migrate to the factories were literally subsistence farming the previous day.
The suicide rates at Chinese factories that the left went ape-shit over just a few years ago... has never been as high as the suicide rate on American college campuses.
Today they are going ape shit over Trump telling the police to commit more acts of brutality, but are not going ape-shit over the applause and cheers that he got from the thousands of police officers that he was talking to. It was practically a standing ovation, but the left is crying about Trump and isnt saying shit about the reaction Trump got which is clearly a far more disturbing thing. The left are pretenders. Fake alarmism.
