\n

Apple, one of the most powerful tech companies in the world, is acting as a subordinate to the wishes of the Chinese Communist Party by restricting the usage of its AirDrop feature within China, Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis<\/a> claimed Tuesday.<\/p>\n

DeSantis told Fox News that that fact, combined with talk of Apple potentially removing Twitter from its omnipresent App Store is very concerning.<\/p>\n

“If you look what’s going on in China now, the CCP have imposing these Zero-COVID lockdown policies. They’ve been doing it on and off for three years,” he said. “And you have people in China that are really engaged<\/a> in a noble effort to protest what is basically Leninist rule.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis said Apple’s response has been to curtail the functions of AirDrop \u2013 which protesters have been using as an end-round against the CCP’s censorship of communication.<\/p>\n

“So they are serving basically as a vassal to the Chinese Communist Party,” he said. “Then on the other hand, here in the United States, what are they doing? They are trying to get Elon Musk’s Twitter off the App Store potentially, which would be a huge blow for free speech.”<\/p>\n

DeSantis said Apple essentially has more authority than some entire governments, and in his mind are using their prowess to “protect” the Xi regime while limiting free speech stateside.<\/p>\n

Under the latest software update, iOS 16.1.1, iPhone owners<\/u><\/a> in China can only use AirDrop to receive files, images, and videos from other non-contacts for 10 minutes, according to 9to5Mac. Once that 10-minute window lapses, AirDrop shifts back to contacts only automatically.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday from Fox Business. Bloomberg reported that the company is planning to roll the 10-minute AirDrop time restriction to iPhones worldwide in the coming year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Closer to home, DeSantis also responded to Disney’s rehiring<\/a> of former CEO Bob Iger as its new executive, replacing Bob Chapek who sparred with Tallahassee politically.<\/p>\n

Host Tucker Carlson reported Iger is regretful about Disney battling with DeSantis’ administration over a new law prohibiting early elementary teachers from discussing sexual topics.<\/p>\n

DeSantis said he disagreed with Iger’s position that Disney was “dragged into that battle,” saying the House Of Mouse did it to itself.<\/p>\n

“Not only oppose the bill, they threatened to get it repealed. These are parents rights; important policies in our state that are very popular,” he said.<\/p>\n

“All we did for is stand up for what’s right. And yes, they’re a big, powerful company. But you know what? We stand up for our folks. And I don’t care what a Burbank-based company says about our laws,” DeSantis said, nodding to the fact Disney’s front office is based thousands of miles away in Rep. Adam Schiff’s district and not in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n
