Apple reverses Hong Kong protest app rejection

On Friday, we linked to a Daring Fireball article addressing Apple’s decision to reject an app that helped Hong Kong protesters note the location of law enforcement.

Gruber’s original core comment:

But here’s the thing. What’s going on in Hong Kong is important. A small liberal democracy is standing up to a gargantuan authoritarian communist dictatorship with a superpower-grade military force.

And this update:

Good news: the developer of HKmap reports that Apple has approved the app, and it’s now propagating through the App Store.

Really glad to see this.
