Apple has reportedly pulled an app that allows people in Hong Kong to keep track of protests and police activity in the city state from its App Store.

The app, called HKmap.live, is a Waze-like live map of the anti-extradition law amendment bill (ELAB) demonstrations that have gripped the autonomous region since June, keeping people abreast of road closures, tear gas firings, known safe places, and police presence.
