Apple Is Said to Deactivate Its News App in China

Hi HN!

I'm the one NYT quoted in this article.

The creepy thing about this is that it does this while ignoring the user's location privacy settings and even if users are using a VPN or roaming (ie. data hits the Internet in user's home country instead of in China).

There are more details about how I tested this at the Hong Kong/China border on my blog: https://www.larrysalibra.com/how-apple-censors-news-in-china...
