‘Vassal of the CCP’: DeSantis SLAMS Apple for Crushing Free Speech in China, US

“[Apple] is providing aid and comfort to the CCP.” Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) slammed Apple for kowtowing to the Chinese communist government while simultaneously trying to squash free speech in America by potentially banning Twitter from the App Store.

The riots against tyrannical Chinese Communist Party (CCP) COVID-19 lockdowns and other authoritarian policies have captured the attention of the world. One of the groups protesting harsh working conditions en masse in China are employees of Apple iPhone manufacturer Foxconn, according to PJ Media. But, as Gov. DeSantis said, Apple is apparently on the side of the CCP, not the workers, because the tech giant is acting like a CCP “vassal” and preventing protestors from using the airdrop function on their phones.

“There’s reports that Apple is not allowing the protestors to use this airdrop function where they’re trying to communicate,” DeSantis stated. “That, obviously, is providing aid and comfort to the CCP, and so you see that report and that’s very concerning.”
