Beijing's claim, this step is to prevent online militant activity. It also protects personal privacy.
China's Netizens can not download Skype and their App Store, which gives internet phone and messaging services, said Apple. According to Apple's statement, "China's Ministry of Public Safety has claimed that several voice-over Internet Protocol apps are not complying with the country's cyber laws. "
However, Apple's idea is that this move of China is temporary. The New York Times reported that despite being banned, Skype was launched in China on Tuesday. The unauthorized online content of Beijing is not visible in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google.
Internet users in China have, however, found the way to view those content through the Virtual Private Network (VPN). But Beijing has missed it.
China's government order has come, all VPNs from the Internet will be removed immediately.
