If you rely on the corporate-media for news, then you probably have no idea that over the past few days massive protests swept China in response to the Party’s Zero-COVID policies. Shamefully, Apple has been helping the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) suppress these protests:
In 2019, @Apple removed an app that helped Hong Kong protesters track the police and they just limited the use of AirDrop in China that anti-lockdown protesters were using to communicate and now they're threatening to de-platform Twitter as videos of protests in China go viral.

Read that again, please. Apple is threatening to de-platform … essentially cancel Twitter … because Twitter won’t censor what’s going on in China.
Shame on Apple and shame on our “leaders” … you know the ones who wrapped themselves in the Ukrainian flag … for not condemning Apple.
In the interest of balance, I will present what the rebuttal from the Koch/Josiah Bartlett crowd would look like … APPLE IS A PRIVATE COMPANY AND IF THEY WANT TO SUPPORT THE CCP THEY HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO.
Do you get it yet? I’ll spell it out for you. There is no “free market” if a handful of essentially omnipotent corporations can control the narrative. There is no freedom if a handful of essentially omnipotent corporations can control the narrative.
