And to be clear, the protestors were *not* using phones purchased in mainland China.

Regardless, your claim that Apple doing something funky with airdrop "suppressed protests in Hong Kong" is completely ridiculous because everything was organized using telegram/whatsapp/facebook/twitter, none of which were restricted.

I understand that your post is more about Apple than China's actions in Hong Kong, but it's still contributing to the process of manufacturing consent for war with China and I know you're smarter than that, that's why I'm annoyed with it.
