Radio Netherlands: Apple kowtows to China’s censors; removes circumvention app.

Sharon Hom of Human Rights in China notes that whereas Yahoo and Google have since co-founded the Global Network Initiative (GNI), which works with human rights groups and academic experts in an effort to protect the rights of their users worldwide, Apple has remained extremely opaque about its practices.
