China Removes Two Gay Dating Apps from App Stores
Apple has removed two popular gay dating apps, Blued and Finka, from its China app store due to an order from Chinese authorities, a company spokesperson confirmed. This action has sparked concerns within the LGBT community, despite a “lite” version of Blued remaining available. Apple operates a separate app store in China to comply with the country’s strict internet regulations. The BBC has reached out to the Chinese embassy and the apps’ developers for further comment.
