Apple has removed a number of foreign-made VPN software apps, that enable people in China to view an uncensored internet, from its App Store in the country.
Companies that let people avoid the government filters have revealed that their programs have been removed.
ExpressVPN posted on its corporate site a message from Apple saying that its program was illegal in China.
The British Virgin Islands-based software company says that all major virtual-private network apps were removed from the Apple App Store in China.
ExpressVPN claimed Apple was “aiding China’s censorship effort”.
Apple said in a statement that China began requiring this year that developers of virtual-private networks have a government licence.
The California-based tech giant said it had removed apps “in China that do not meet the new regulations”.
