A trending and vastly expanding GitHub database where Chinese developers have been airing their workplace grievances may be at risk of censorship. A number of internet users in China are reporting seeing their access to the database cut off when using browsers offered by companies like Tencent, Alibaba, Xiaomi, and Qihoo 360, as first spotted by Abacus. There’s no indication yet that these censorship efforts may have originated from government orders.
And as a reminder: western technology companies, most prominently Apple, is working very closely with the Chinese government, giving them access to user data of Chinese users to aid the China’s totalitarian surveillance state.
Is funny you mention Apple when it is known that any company that wants to work with Chima must do… Of course, that doesn´t make it right, but it is what it is…
Maybe because of the recent news ( https://www.osnews.com/story/129699/apple-censoring-the-news/ ) how Apple goes beyond what other companies are doing?…
I think he feels some sort of personal betrayal since he uses so many Apple products. Sorry Thom, but if you’re a business and you want in a given market, you have to obey the laws of that market. Obey or don’t play.
darknexus,
The reasons have been discussed many times already. Stop playing dumb and repeating the same thing.
Apple’s only goal is to make money. It’s hard for them to “betray their users” when that’s not really where their allegiance is.
