As you state, one can access these specific communities in a number of ways, including Google Chrome. If the community is the issue, go after the community, not an ActivityPub app that can access content from these and other communities.
Should Google also ban RSS reader apps that don't actively block RSS feeds from sites Google doesn't like?
- SyneRyder 6y agoOh, please don't suggest banning RSS apps - Apple is already doing that, they removed Pocket Casts and Castro because they allow access to Podcasts that offend Chinese censorship, while Apple's own podcast app remains because it blocks those particular podcasts: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jun/12/apple-removes-two-podcast-apps-from-china-store-after-censorship-demands https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jun/12/apple-rem...
- DamnableNook 6y ago> Apple is already doing that, they removed Pocket Casts and Castro In china. That is an important note that you left out to make Apple seem worse.
- duncan_bayne 6y agoWhy does it matter where Apple is suppressing free speech? It's not okay just because the degenerate political descendants of Mao say it's okay. Edited to clarify: this was a description of the oppressive political rulers of China, not Apple or Chinese citizens in general. You can't reasonably defend Apple's actions on the grounds that they were just following orders from the Communist Party of China.
- mansion7 6y agoYou say there making Apple seem worse, but "They're only censoring the Chinese" doesn't really make them seem any better
