Russian Government Tightens Control over Internet
Apple has been directed by Russian authorities to remove 25 VPN applications from its App Store following a decree from Roskomnadzor.
Impact on Online Freedom and Privacy
- Apple's Compliance: Under the directive, Apple must comply with the censorship efforts of the Russian government.
- User Accessibility: The removal of VPN apps limits users' access to tools for maintaining online privacy and bypassing content restrictions.
This development underscores the ongoing challenges between tech companies and government bodies in safeguarding internet freedoms.
