This isn’t the first time Apple bends to the Chinese regulators. You can’t type Taiwanese flag on Chinese versions of Apple hardwares, code was one liner clean, but that was a beginning. Then we see that Chinese state level anti-scam app came preinstalled on brand new iPhones on Chinese models.<p>Get a Chinese SIM card or have your iPhone under a Chinese base station, you’ll find some difference.<p>I’m sure Apple has done some great effort to prevent anything worse. But getting China to dictate the content maker part of Apple may be another milestone.

I thought this was r/TitleGore but it turns out that thecybernerd just chose to omit the leading "J" from the title: (Jon Stewart)'s (Apple TV Plus) show ...
<p><pre><code> > Apple approached Stewart directly and expressed its need for the host and
> his team to be "aligned" with the company's views on topics discussed.
> Rather than falling in line when Apple threatened to cancel the show,
> Stewart reportedly decided to walk

How do you Apple fanboys turn a blind eye to this level of bullshit.
for future generations who stumble upon this, the NYT link (which actually has the correct title) is getting quite a bit of action: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37955468">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37955468</a>
