Chinese regulators want to talk to Apple about live streaming titles on the App Store

Beijing’s Internet regulators plans to summon Apple and urge the tech giant to tighten up checks on software applications available in the Apple Store, according to the Xinhua News Agency. The report noted that officers with the law enforcement team met with company reps about the examination of live stream apps.

The regulators reportedly said Apple is next on a list for inquiries after authorities ordered three Chinese live streaming websites to rectify management loopholes. “Significant loopholes” also existed in their management of live-broadcast products, user classification, authentication of user identity and the handling of tips-offs, the regulators claim.
