The refresh articles was blocked by the iPhone maker. The Chinese regime pressured the web actors to establish a system of censorship for their content.
News, the new Information Application Apple has stopped working in China. In recent days, the list of articles stopped refresh. According to the New York Times , the company itself has blocked access to the application in the country.
Launched in September, US News is for iPhone, but it is possible to use it in other regions of the world. Elsewhere, notably in France, it normally connects to servers and articles in English appear carefree on the screen. However, once in China, the application is not able to show anything. If the service is used there, owners of Apple devices will display a message stating “Can not refresh right now. news is not supported in your current area “(” Unable to refresh. News is not available in the area where you currently are “).
According to the entrepreneur Larry Salibra, which revealed the blockage, the restriction only applies to mainland China, the application continues to run Hong Kong. The New York Times said that the Chinese regime pressured the web actors to establish a content censorship system if they want to exercise their activity in the country. Now, Apple has made China a priority. These are now the second largest market, with $ 13 billion in sales between April and June.
This is another sign of the sacrifices that must make the large technology companies to be present in China. Google for example it was subjected for many years before redirecting the main page of its search engine to Hong Kong release in 2010. The firm has since left the country. However his return seems to be emerging. The big difference in this case, as noted by Larry Salibra in a post on reddit is that it is the censorship of content downloaded and installed directly on a phone bought in the US.
