Thank you for the context, but I find it hard to believe that the HK Chief Executive was not influenced by or seeking favor with China when making the law. Also, this seems to ignore the question of Taiwan's sovereign status and assume

I think the issue is more about Apple's acquiescence. My guess is protesters require a VPN at this point to access the map's server regardless of it they do so through the app or the website. The technical barrier is there regardl

I would like to think the public back-and-forth over this app is a sign of internal conflict within Apple over whether or not to list the app on the App Store. Unfortunately, it seems more likely that everyone is against removing it but too
