Apple takes down Bible app in China to appease communist regime

Apple has removed a popular Bible app and a Quran app in China after the communist country’s regime deemed that the apps violated local laws on hosting religious texts.

Bible App by Olive Tree, which has over 1 million downloads, and Quran Majeed, used by millions of Muslims, have been taken down due to compliance issues, the tech company told the BBC.

Apple refused to comment but directed the BBC to its Human Rights Policy: “We’re required to comply with local laws, and at times there are complex issues about which we may disagree with governments.”

Apple also told the BBC that the apps had been removed because Chinese officials had stated they violated laws on hosting illegal religious texts.

“Apple chief executive Tim Cook has been accused of hypocrisy from politicians in the U.S. for speaking out about American politics, but staying quiet about China,” the BBC noted.

  1. This is the kind of stuff you will get, and much worse, if you vote for democrats next election. Vote REPUBLICAN, for any and every thing, from dog catcher on up to the presidency and everything inbetween.
