Apple censors song about Tiananmen Square protests

Internet users noticed over the weekend that Cheung’s song had been taken down from Apple Music’s China service. “American citizens value the First Amendment and the ability to speak freely – even on controversial topics,” Rep. Bob Latta (R-OH) told The Verge today, “It’s deeply concerning that Apple, according to recent reports, would acquiesce to demands made by Chinese officials to censor pro-democracy music. And Denise Ho, an outspoken activist whose music is regularly purged from Chinese streaming services and is banned from opening social media accounts in China, has been completely delisted from Apple Music in China.
