Apple has removed a controversial app from the App Store called HKmap.live. The app crowdsources the location of police and anti-government protesters in Hong Kong. Blizzard Entertainment is facing harsh criticism from the gaming community after it banned a Hong Kong player who made comments in support of the protests. The situation is shaping up to be a test for the American tech sector s commitment to democratic values, privacy, and an open and free internet. In effect, the app helps protesters avoid areas with a heavy police presence.
