Apple disables its News app in China

A strange event has occurred in China, as everyone knows the Asian country seeks to become completely independent in all fields, seeking not to depend on anyone else, but even though what happened may seem small and unimportant it is still a violation of users' rights , the right to always be informed.

Apple News is no longer available in China

What happened, as reported by many iPhone and iPad users, is that their News app suddenly stopped working . The reason for this was that the app was no longer available in their region, specifically China. This is apparently due to a kind of media regulation imposed by the country's government.

The first person to report this incident was a software developer, who found the situation unnecessary and somewhat disconcerting . However, as is often the case, Apple has not made any official announcement about what is happening. This is probably to avoid direct criticism, because after the incident, criticism has been abundant, although more than directed at the company, most of it has been aimed at the Chinese government.

So far, the News app is only available in the United States, as the service provided there is entirely direct. Apple has also made the app available in some test markets, namely Australia and the United Kingdom. Unusually, the app's service is completely cut off —meaning you can't access any information—only in the Chinese market.

The official reasons for the company's action are still unknown, but it is speculated that it has to do with the Chinese government's terrible and strict internet content restriction laws , which are likely annoying and unjustified.

It is rumored that for Apple to offer the service of this application again, it will have to find a way to create an automated system that filters the content that the Chinese government believes should be censored.
