On several occasions in the past, Apple has stepped over the lines of freedom of speech and conformed to China’s censorship requests. “No specifics were requested, we were just linked to, which has no apparent version written in English and told we had illegal content up in China,” said general manager Jesse Herlitz, in a statement emailed to Digital Trends. Pocket Casts confirmed that it’s in touch with Castro but at this stage, they aren’t “working together beyond that.” The team behind Castro Podcasts said it wasn’t offered any specifics by Apple and suspects it was likely because of its “support of the protests in the Discover tab.” In a tweet, Castro Podcasts claimed the Chinese market represented 10% of its total base but a “much smaller percent” of its paid subscriber base.
