Wonder if they will comply in the same way as complying in the EU with alternate app stores / sideloading being region locked?

~~I think it's already confirmed it will be available globally.~~

(Wish they implemented region locking for China's other demand though, that is making AirDrop for everyone limited to 10 minutes)

Wait, isn’t it already the norm?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

What exactly?

Airdrop for everyone being limited to ten minutes

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that's what I mean. It used to be unlimited until China complained that people were using it to mass spread anti-CCP messages. Or so I've read, anyway.

Oh, sorry for the misunderstanding. I didn’t know about that, interesting.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Nothings been confirmed.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ah oops. My bad. I guess I thought so because they didn't say anything about region locking it, but I don't think they did for the App Store stuff initially either.
