China has recently ordered for mobile app stores to shut down due to “illegal information and security risks.” China is trying to control the intake of information that goes into the country and if its positive to the nation. It’s trying to form one political system among its people by not allowing apps considered to be politically sensitive. Most of the app stores are third party since Apple and Google stores are blocked. Even with the order, it will take a long time for China to control all information that is spread among its people. This action I find incredibly stupid because I believe in free speech for everyone. In the U.S, this action could never take place without any violent protests among the citizens since we’ve had free speech for a long time.
