Everyone in the world should be more attention on CCPChina tentacles to human rights, freedom of speech.

In order to not seeing this happen, every people in the world, not only American, should stand up. CommunistChina is truly a threat to the world.

HKers are not afraid of protesters, but afraid of hkpolicebrutality. The apps will help us go home safety after work and school!

HkgMeiiiii Apple, please stop helping silent massacre in HK. hkpolicebrutality HKPoliceTerrorism

CYCYd7689and777 tim_cook Apple AppleSupport To reiterate again - the app is used to aid HK people (incl protesters) to avoid subject to hongkongpolicebrutality . I urged u to look at evidence or simply visit HK to witness for yourself. Pls save lives.

HKliveapp is a legal and useful app for the Hong Kong Citizens to aviod to encounter the Crazy Riot Police on the street. During these 4 months, the Hong Kong Police attack the citizens indifferently. Apple chose to stand with evil ccp and RMB ~ What a shame ! antichinazi

Just a simple map app can test and reveal the truth that who Apple is serving. bye American's Apple, you should change name to “PinGuo' to please your master better.

Apple's supposed to have nothing to fear here! The CCP will never allow its Chinese people to escalate this kind of boycott too far, and the Chinese will just come back and buy iPhones as time passed. See that NBA boycott that just lasted for less than a week?

This app serves for public to avoid meeting those black masked men who claim themselves as HongKongPolice but without identity number and name provided. Once you ask the above information, baton and pepper spray will be appeared... Please release the apps for Hong Kongers!

apple licking china’s shoes so FreeHongKong

Apple

RMB is very attractive for business man 😢

Apple kneel down for money over HumanRights and freedom, it just become a brand like Huawei and Xiaomi StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom antichinazi antitotalitarianism

RMB or conscience?

Pls make the righteous decision

I can't see how a map app can threat 30k HKPolice , which have full gear costing HKD40k . Or do they don't have a map?

US Senators have already sent a letter to Apple and blamed that Apple is helping China to inhibit freedom and human right. antichinazi

I think not only for protesters, this app is needed by all people living in HK to escape from danger. It's unreasonable that Apple ban the app. antitotalitarianism antichinazi

It is totally a political decision rather than the app violates the rules of apple

Apple I would say the app help us away from arbitrary

SjanOd1020jin ccp’s money can buy everything, including the kindness of Apple company. Apple just see HKPolice use gun to kill protesters that just have umbrellas, cold blooded and cruel. StandWithHongKong SOSHK

Apple knows nothing but Chinese money Humanitarian is nothing to them. antichinazi RedApple hkpolicebrutality

Very simple, we just want to back home safely without meeting any police who will arrest young people without a reason HKPoliceState Censorship

Apple is just one of them...

HKPolice can disguise themselves as protesters, citizens or first aiders. They can be carried by vans, private cars or governmental vehicles like fire engines. Tracking is not the purpose any more. HKPoliceState

DISGUSTING

Come on! This app tells people who love CCP HKpolice can find the right location to support their “Hero”.

Apple is actually supporting the Chinese hegemony to suppress freedom

People need this app to avoid walk near the police. It is difficult to actively ambush police as their force is greater than protesters who are mainly young students.

we will never give up fight for freedom, stand with HK

Apple is the worst offender. It’s frustrating how much ppl don’t know/care that corporations and Wall Street give no regards to western values and even national security. StandWithHongKong HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct hkpolicebrutality

I am not a protester and I really need this app to escape from danger but Apple doesn’t care.

HongKong HongKongProtesters hongkongpolicebrutality HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests HongKongPolice HongKongers

The app is for helping protesters to escape from hkpolicebrutality. Isn’t it too obvious to launch an app that aim at ambushing police
