Apple Censors Dalai Lama iPhone Apps In China

on 12/30/2009, filed in Home > Apple

Apple has apparently blocked iPhone applications related to the Dalai Lama in its China App Store, making it the latest US technology company to censor its services in China, similar to that of Google. Dalai Lama related apps seem to appear just fine in the App Store of other countries, but it’s certainly unavailable in China’s App Store. An Apple spokeswoman, Trudy Muller, has stated that they will continue to comply with local laws. While most folks will certainly understand that it’s good to follow the law, it’s certainly not going to win many friends in the general public.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
