Apple pulls HKmap from App Store, the day after Chinese state media criticized its 'unwise and reckless decision' to approve it

Apple pulls HKmap from App Store, the day after Chinese state media criticized its 'unwise and reckless decision' to approve it

Less than a day after Apple was criticized by Chinese state media for allowing HKmap in the App Store, the crowdsourced map app said it had been delisted. Its removal comes less than a week after Apple reversed its initial decision to reject the app, which provides information about the location of pro-democracy demonstrations, street closures and police activity (its website is still available).
