And this is acceptable?
"The app displays police locations and we have verified with the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau that the app has been used to target and ambush police"
Give me a break! People are protesting IN SUPPORT OF DEMOCRACY. Does anyone spouting this nonsense about a Communist totalitarian regime that now has a president that will be in office for LIFE remember the atrocities committed by this same regime?
Please go lookup the “1989 Tiananmen Square protests” also known as the “Tiananmen Square Massacre”.
Civilians and mostly college students in mainland China were protesting corruption in the communist party and advocating for:
1. freedom of the press
2. Freedom of speech
3. Freedom of association (all Chinese citizens must affiliate with the Communist party)
How were protests organized? They had sit-ins (peaceful and mostly silent) and hunger strikes while occupying Tiananmen Square as well as other supporting protests at 600 other global locations.
How did the Chinese Government handle the peaceful protesters? Oh they just called in the military, declared martial law and then the military opened fire on the protesters killing hundreds and wounding thousands. “THOUSANDS”
The west has grown too accustom to getting cheap goods from China while forgiving the regime for all its past and turning a blind eye to all current and future humanitarian crisis.
If you think money and investments are an excuse for this sort of behavior, you are morally incorrect. And the most ironic part of this human tragedy is that each person who just makes excuses to say this is ok is merely sealing their fate and future when the last few jobs and opportunities go eastward leaving them or their children in the proverbial poor house.
Nothing worthwhile was ever accomplished easily. Perhaps, indeed, sacrificing a few electronics and/or paying more for those items are well worth the investment in the future of our global societies.
