<p>Apple has made a second U-turn on a Hong Kong protest app. The company <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/03/hong-kong-protest-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">initially banned it[/url] from the <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/app-store/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">App Store[/url], then changed its mind and allowed it, and has now reversed course again, banning it once more.</p>
<p>We yesterday reported that Apple has also removed the Quartz news app, which has been reporting extensively on the protests. <a href="https://twitter.com/jkeefe/status/1182023843725971457" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Quartz says[/url] Apple took this action <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/09/apple-china-quartz-app-store/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">at the request of the government[/url].</p>
<p>Both moves follow <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/09/chinese-state-media-warns-apple/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vague threats[/url] about “consequences” from <a href="https://9to5mac.com/guides/china/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chinese[/url] state media…</p>
