US lawmakers have raised concerns about Apple’s involvement in the production and distribution of content by comedian Jon Stewart, particularly his recent segments discussing issues related to China.
The scrutiny comes as part of a broader investigation into the tech giant’s business practices and its relationship with the Chinese government.
Members of Congress have questioned Apple’s commitment to free speech and human rights, given its track record of censoring content to appease Chinese authorities.
Stewart’s segments have touched on sensitive topics like Hong Kong protests, Taiwan, and the Uyghur crisis, which have all been subjects of Chinese censorship.
Apple has defended its actions, stating that it complies with local laws in the countries it operates in, including China.
However, lawmakers argue that this approach compromises American values and democratic principles.
