&gt;&quot;Beijing generally insists that companies are responsible for censoring content inside China. In Apple’s case, that would mean it would probably have to develop a censorship system&quot;<p>Does this mean that Apple currently don&#x27;t have a censorship system, or that the censorship system they have is not nuanced enough to deal with the requirements laid down by the Chinese Government?<p>Apple state at <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;internet-services&#x2F;terms&#x2F;site.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.apple.com&#x2F;legal&#x2F;internet-services&#x2F;terms&#x2F;site.html</a> that:<p>&gt;&quot;Apple reserves the right to limit, in its sole discretion, the provision and quantity of any feature, product or service to any person or geographic area. Any offer for any feature, product or service made on the Site is void where prohibited. If you choose to access the Site from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws.&quot;<p>So it seems that they <i>do</i> do some vetting of information, and that this applies to <i>everywhere</i>, not just China. It&#x27;s interesting that the <i>&quot;you are solely responsible for complying with applicable local laws&quot;</i> clause seems to be the bit that&#x27;s different in China&#x27;s case.<p>Who is correct? Apple states &quot;you are solely responsible&quot; while the Chinese government states &quot;companies are responsible&quot;.<p>I presume this one of those grey areas in international law.
