It's mind-blowing to me how little criticism Apple gets for their highly problematic relationship to China. Censoring for the chinese regime, basically handing over iCloud access to them. And none of their oh so privacy sensitive users seem to care. https://t.co/avhtjUPXFi

I'm always intrigued by how the same act by different companies is viewed differently by employees & media.

Google employees threatened to unionize over what's just another Thursday at Apple. People quit over contracts Microsoft & Amazon scrambled to win.https://t.co/WunFTnbp87

Pocket Casts has been removed from the Chinese App store by Apple, at the request of the Cyberspace Administration of China. We believe podcasting is and should remain an open medium, free of government censorship. As such we won't be censoring podcast content at their request.

팟캐스트 앱 Pocket Casts, 중국정부 요청에 따라 중국 앱스토어에서 삭제돼
- Pocket Casts 트위터 계정, 애플이 이틀 전 Pocket Casts를 중국 앱스토어에서 삭제한다고 알려와
- 이는 중국사이버공간청의 요구로 인한 것 확인돼
- 중국이 자국민의 뉴스 접근을 막기 위한 것 https://t.co/qscmvcFgPH
