Riot police officers fire rubber bullets toward anti-government protesters on Monday. The HKmap.live app tracks the movement of police around Hong Kong and is used by protesters in ongoing and sometimes violent demonstrations.The Chinese Communist Party’s official newspaper, the People’s Daily, lashed out on Tuesday at Apple Inc. for allowing an app on its app store that tracks the movement of police around Hong Kong and is used by protesters in ongoing and sometimes violent demonstrations.
One such map that is available on the Apple app store, the HKmap.live app, has become a lightning rod on Twitter for criticism and support of the protests. The developer did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On Saturday in a tweet they said that Apple had “many business considerations” but had “make thing right.”Apple is the latest foreign company to catch heat in relation to the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, which have lasted four months.
The piece on the website of the People’s Daily said Apple did not have a sense of right and wrong, and ignored the truth.
China's getting mad at a lot of people these days. That's how assholes react when they don't realize that THEY'RE THE ASSHOLES.
