The Chinese Government has forced Apple to delist WhatsApp and Threads from the App Store according to a report by Wall Street Journal, resulting in the inability of the Chinese users to download the said apps from the official channels. This can prove to be the final nail in the coffin for WhatsApp in China as the service has been banned since 2017.https://www.notebookcheck.net/China-forces-Apple-to-delist-WhatsApp-and-Threads-from-App-Store.829101.0.html
Apple censors Telegram content in the European Union... because of political incorrectness.
So... it's not only China. Apple does it itself due to the pressure of its investors (BlackRock etc.).
Two-faced, immoral and greedy Apple bosses:
"Money is always more important to us than human rights and freedom of speech"...
Okay, it's proven.
