Apple drops WhatsApp, Threads from China app store on official order: report
==========

Apple has removed the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China following an order from the country's top internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), due to national security concerns. China is a key market for Apple, and this move will complicate the ability of new iPhone users to access these apps. The removal comes as China engages in extensive internet censorship, blocking popular platforms like Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, and TikTok. Apple stated that it is obligated to follow the laws in the countries where it operates, even when it disagrees.
