Apple has removed thousands of apps from its app store in China following a report by state media channel CCTV that pointed out that the American tech company was allowing illegal gambling apps to be sold on its platform, the Financial Times reports.
Apple took down 500 apps with the keyword “lottery” in the title between July 31 and August 13 and also removed 4,000 other gambling-related apps on August 9, according to CCTV. But the report still criticized Apple for not doing enough to tackle illegal apps.
“Apple established the rules for allowing apps onto its store, but it did not itself respect them, resulting in a proliferation of fake lottery apps and gambling apps,” the report said.
