VPN App Claims Apple Intentionally Blocking App Store Updates Amid Internet Crackdown in Myanmar

[Tech198]

Seems to me, the "out of the blue" stuff means Apple is not flagging in real time, even descriptive text could be done

Either it is done and just ignored for several months, or Apple gets attention by email (or some other method) and chooses to stick to the back of the queue,, perhaps other apps proceed first

Plus Apple doesn't control what governments do

So we have Apple statement https://9to5mac.com/2021/03/24/protonvpn-claims-apple-blocking-human-rights/

I don’t like Proton’s new in your face advocacy because it opens them up to the problems they are trying to battle.

When I signed up for Protonmail I did so because they were located in Switzerland. I assumed two things.

1. They would be neutral
2. They would never comply with demands of other governments for information

I guess I was wrong on #1. And that opens them up to blocking.

As hard as it may be to stomach, they should be making NO comments regarding Myanmar or anywhere else. We have seen time and time again that the next step after taking political stances is canceling customers.
