National security

As the U.S. considers banning Chinese-owned TikTok, Beijing has ordered Apple ( AAPL) to remove Meta's ( META) social media apps WhatsApp and Threads from its app store in the country. Messaging apps Telegram and Signal were also removed, citing national security concerns, though some others were still available for download. "We are obligated to follow the laws in the countries where we operate, even when we disagree," Apple said in a statement. Beijing's order is likely part of a 2023 rule that required all apps available in China to register with the government by the end of March this year or cease operating. ( 7 comments)
