> Now that you know that Airdrop is not in fact blocked in China, has your opinion changed? No, because it's a general statement that you can't trust marketing. Also, looking around at sibling comments because you provided no source, it looks like you're splitting hairs. It may not be blocked, just crippled specifically in China in a way that thwarts how the protesters used it: https://twitter.com/tibor/status/1597296268275240960 https://twitter.com/tibor/status/1597296268275240960, https://www.macworld.com/article/1377200/apple-to-limit-airdrop-everyone-setting-to-10-minutes.html https://www.macworld.com/article/1377200/apple-to-limit-aird...: > By default, AirDrop is set to allow incoming connection requests from Contacts Only, but that setting can be changed to Everyone–popular among protesters and teens alike. Starting with iOS 16.1.1, users in China will find that the “Everyone” option has changed to “Everyone for 10 minutes.” Apple won’t admit why this change is being made in China, but the peer-to-peer nature of AirDrop has made it popular for spreading anti-government protest material, and hopping into your settings every 10 minutes to re-enable the ability to receive AirDrop from strangers makes it a lot less useful for that. Framing an action that thwarts censorship circumvention as preventing "spam and abuse" is exactly the kind of sweet-smelling lie I was talking about.
