"But web apps can't be censored!"
Apple was able to disable the native airdrop functionality in China during protests. Airdrop is a function of the OS just like Safari. It is a peer to peer communication by design. There was no server they turned off, there was no reliance on apple-run infrastructure. They turned it off anyway.
Maybe they won't censor Safari, but they can.
Not Sure
