In the context of this article, you seem to be comparing "not making Apple News available in China" with Dragonfly and pretending that the two are even remotely the same.
- izacus 8y agoYes, DragonFly is a theoretical / not launched project. Apple's iCloud collaboration with Chinese government and Apple News censorship isn't - they've actually deployed it. The double standard is striking, why is HN giving a pass to Apple when they collaborate with totalitarian regimes?
- eridius 8y agoApple is simply not making Apple News available in China. That's not "censorship", that's "not doing business in China". Censorship would be if Apple News was available but only carried state-sponsored articles devoid of any criticism. Ya know, kind of like what Dragonfly is aiming to do.
