Whoever posted/titled this has a bone to pick with Apple specifically, apparently, because the actual article is just about "App Stores" (i.e. both Apple & Google).
>"Blacklisted foreign companies persist in app stores [...]"
>"Watchdog finds firms and organizations in Apple and Google stores [...]"
>"[...] remained available in app stores maintained by Apple and Google [...]"
Wonder why the submitter of this article titled it "Apple Faces Scrutiny [...]"...?
(Kind of funny that 7777777phil, the submitter, was just complaining about a clickbait title yesterday! And then they submit this with an editorialized title.)
