And just Apple’s word and a pinkie swear is enough to trust that they won’t censor content for China?

Probably not, no. But before smashing down the door guns blazing... how about a polite knock on the door and a few simple questions?

Doesn't mean you trust the answers, but it's worth asking first. Because they might have an answer you weren't expecting such as "yeah I'm pretty sure it was the house next door that had screams coming out of it half an hour ago... whoever called 911 gave you the wrong address".

Maybe they cancelled the show because nobody was watching it, and the fact an episode china might not have linked was just a coincidence.

Yea.. I mean, Apple TV is not a cash cow. But iPhones on the other hand...

Lawmakers wrote that Cook's "recent trip to Beijing" makes it appear as if "maintaining a positive relationship with the CCP may be a priority given ongoing supply chain and financial dependencies."
