Apple Pulls 'Pocket Casts' From App Store at China's Request

Apple has pulled the Pocket Casts podcast app from the App Store in China at the government's request.

In a Twitter post, the company says it was ordered to censor podcast content streamed via the Pocket Casts app. However, refusing to do so has resulted in the Chinese government's request to remove the app.

Pocket Casts has been removed from the Chinese App store by Apple, at the request of the Cyberspace Administration of China. We believe podcasting is and should remain an open medium, free of government censorship. As such we won't be censoring podcast content at their request.
