Our service (feeder.co) got banned in China last week. We didn’t make the connection regarding the timing immediately, but it makes sense that they are on the offensive with regards to restricting the free flow of information.<p>As another slap in the face, Apple also removed our app from the China app store, citing that our app was deemed illegal in China (an RSS reader???). Further cementing my opinion of the dangers Apple’s monopolastic position. We asked to see the legal complaint from the government that triggered this, but have not complied.

Controlling the narrative 101: People want to talk about this subject, so it’s better you tell them how you want them to talk about it.
