They removed a shit-ton of apps in Hong Kong last year, for the same sorry pro-Communist Chinese excuses they are giving now.
We were warned. Hong Kong was a good canary. We mostly here said on FR that it’s none of our business. It could never happen here. We can just build our own FB, Google, Apple and Amazon. (Only billions of $$$ needed) Well guess what kiddies, it’s happening here.
The only two apps I actually use on my iPhone is Safari to get my Bing rewards for searches each day, and Verizon, to get my free Up Reward each month. And once in a while if I’m taking a trip to visit either of my sons, I use the free Pandora app. I don’t use any of the others that are installed on it. I’ve never even used the camera. I basically use my phone for talking, and receiving text messages from CVS for my meds, and USPS tracking for packages. I don’t watch anything on it or play games.
