>>Can I play devil's advocate for just a moment?
Makes me sad we have lost soo much respect for liberty that people feel compelled to play "devil's advocate" in favor of a totalitarian regime.
I think it is clear that any "evidence" that has come from " Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau" should be rejected out right and not trusted at all
Further the fact that the app may have broken "local laws" should also have no impact at all on the discussion, we are talking about a Totalitarian regime with countless Human Rights violations, their local laws are objectively at odds with what anyone should consider just or proper
So it comes down "Does this app violate Apple Policies", given that apple like most companies write the rules so at any time anything can be a violation at their sole discretion then technically yes, but so could any app at any time.
At the end of the day allow me to Translate Apple's Statement SouthPark Style
"Like the NBA, Blizzard, and countless other companies, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts. We too love money more than freedom. Long Live the communist party of China"
