Apple has released a software update limiting the use of AirDrop in China in light of recent protests. AirDrop was being used by protesters to transmit info directly phone to phone, bypassing the Great Firewall of China.

@pugxi @WholeMarsBlog Airdrop is a private network. The First Amendment doesn't apply to private networks.

@pugxi @WholeMarsBlog Yeah, because the US absolutely didn’t do anything like this during the 2020 protests 🙄🙄🙄

@pugxi @WholeMarsBlog Theres free speech in every other (western) democracy too btw
