CUPERTINO, Calif.—Graduate student Han Wang started a seven-day hunger strike at Apple headquarters on Dec. 5. He is urging the tech giant to revoke its AirDrop restrictions in mainland China, where “A4 protesters” are counting on the Bluetooth-based technique to evade the communist regime’s censorship.
Axios reported that a Nov. 9 Apple iOS update restricted AirDrop sharing features only in the Chinese market, by setting a fixed 10-minute limit to accept files from everyone.
