Everything @Apple says it stands for is no more when it comes to its China market. It has removed the descriptive language supporting LGBT from its rainbow wallpaper for its iPhone in China.

#Article23's ambiguous definitions of national security, state secrets, and foreign interference make it harder to disclose the #HongKong government's requests to remove apps. What apps are potentially at risk? Read our report here: applecensorship.com/news/banned-ap…
It's not about security; it's about silencing dissent. Apple's compliance in removing apps at the behest of Chinese authorities isn't just a business decision—it's a betrayal of the principle of free speech. When tech giants help censor apps, they control what we see and stifle…

This @article19org report argues that assessing China’s regional partnerships and what they mean for rising digital repression in the region is vital to understanding China’s ambitions to rewrite the rules that govern the digital space. article19.org/resources/chin…
Still can't get over the fact that MarketplaceKit doesn't even read the JWT token passed to the URI scheme, let alone validate it. In the video below, a random string is passed as a value for a parameter expecting a JWT token. And it didn't complain 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Epic Games calls out Apple's illusion of choice in App Store payments. Despite a court order allowing alternative payment links, Apple still charges devs 12%-27% fees. #AppleVsEpic #AppStoreBattle #EpicGames #AppStoreFees

A corporation is an immortal, transhuman colony organism that uses us as inconvenient gut-flora: no matter how much you love it, it will *never* love you back. It *can't* experience love - only fear. 66/
It's not by giving them money. Paying for a service does not make a company fear you, and anyone who thinks they can buy a platform's loyalty by paying for a service is a simp. 65/
The way to do that is by making them fear you - by abolishing the laws that create lock-in, by legally enshrining a right to privacy, by protecting competition. 64/
Apple can defend you from other companies' spying ways, but when Apple decides to spy on you, it's a felony to jailbreak your Iphone and block Apple's surveillance: pluralistic.net/2023/02/05/bat… 53/
A closed, locked-down platform that is illegal to modify isn't a walled garden, a fortress that keeps out the bad guys - it's a walled prison that locks you *in*, a prisoner of the worst impulses of the tech giant that built it. 52/
Sure, Apple blocked Facebook from spying on Ios users...and then started illegally, secretly spying on those users and lying about it, in order to target ads to those users: pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/lux… 33/
Yet, this intrusive spyware remains unchallenged on China's @AppStore. Apparently, when it comes to China's government apps, @Apple doesn't see the blatant privacy invasions or the violation of its own guidelines as a problem: applecensorship.com/app-store-moni…

egui/eframe has a lot of low hanging fruit when it comes to performance. That it is even close to something like Spotify is pretty crazy - I'm pretty sure chromium has had more developer hours put into it than my hobby project 😆
Very excited to drop our long awaited report on #China's Digital Silk Road! We show how Beijing is seeking to create a China-centric global authoritarian alternative to digital governance norms, through examples in the Indo-Pacific article19.org/resources/chin…
Big Tech spent over $250 MILLION on lobbying and ads to prevent antitrust legislation from passing. A handful of companies should not dictate the future of the internet and competition online. Reminder: We need to pass legislation like AICOA and OAMA. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

.@OpenTechFund is grateful to @SFRCdems @SenateForeign @HouseForeign @HouseForeignGOP. We are also appreciative of @USAGMgov’s Amanda Bennett, our Board Chair @ZackCooper, and Board member @pablochavez for their strong support of our mission.
.@OpenObservatory is a real-time censorship measurement platform that monitors censorship in over 200 countries worldwide. OONI was the first to detect novel internet censorship events in Cuba in 2019, Kazakhstan in 2022, and countless others.
At the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, @RFERL worked with @guardianproject to create mirror sites, replicas of blocked originals, to circumvent increased Kremlin censorship. Approx. 350 @USAGMgov network websites and subdomains now deploy mirrors.
.@guardianproject's Convene is an anonymous, accessible way for journalists and at-risk individuals to communicate privately. It doesn’t require phone numbers, account set-up, or app installation & is censorship-resistant to overcome surveillance and blocking.
.@eQualitie delivers independent news to people in heavily censored countries and during extreme censorship events like internet shutdowns via TV satellite channels. eQualitie is currently datacasting content from over 50 media partners, reaching over 56 countries.
nthLink is another large-scale circumvention tool, particularly effective for Chinese users. It helps over 8 million people every month overcome censorship, connect to the open internet, and access @USAGMgov network content.
.@PsiphonInc is a large-scale circumvention tool that helps 37 million people each month connect to the open internet and access @USAGMgov network content. Particularly effective in Iran, Psiphon supported over 9 million users per day at the peak of the #MahsaAmini protests.
.@GreatFireChina's @AppCensorship documents instances of Apple Inc.’s collaboration with government censorship efforts – often the removal of apps, including those supported by @OpenTechFund, from the App Store.
Last week @OpenTechFund hosted Internet Freedom Expos to highlight seven technologies that exemplify our Congressional mandate to advance internet freedom globally. Learn more about our featured partners providing information lifelines in authoritarian contexts.👇
If you’re interested in content that an app displays in an embedded browser, “I'd recommend copying the link and pasting it into a dedicated browser, which has more granular privacy settings that can be toggled," EFF’s Bill Budington told @TheRegister. theregister.com/2024/03/27/ina…
EU launches full-blown App Store, Google Play investigations under DMA: tidal change or tempest in teapot? Nothing will change in the marketplace as a result of this, but psychologically it's good for Epic's contempt motion against Apple in California. gamesfray.com/eu-launches-fu…
"Apple selectively enforces its rules and contractual restrictions for app distribution and app creation." "Apple is willing to sacrifice user privacy and security in other ways so long as doing so benefits Apple." examples of such activity here 🧐🍎->> applecensorship.com
Read the lawsuit: United States v. Apple trib.al/sO1ZyHf
Lol you wouldn’t know it from Tim Cook’s gushing here but Beijing banned govt use of iPhones, and @Apple is desperately trying to move manufacturing to India. But, yeah, China is a perfect place to do business, Tim. https://t.co/qWKEJaX13x
Today the court will decide whether the class action lawsuit against #Apple can be dismissed or not. The case is based on our findings about the App Store harvesting exhaustive usage data even when all related settings are turned off. #PrivacyMatters
Huge App Store news: Microsoft, Meta, X, and Match Group ask U.S. court for permission to support, through an amicus brief, Epic Games' motion to hold Apple in contempt of the nationwide anti-anti-steering injunction under California Unfair Competition Law. Go Epic!
