The technological giants have not had it easy in recent months, and in addition to several scandals, mainly concerning user privacy and information leakage, the governments of individual countries are also throwing sticks at their feet. After all, for example, the European Union likes companies like Apple a Facebook has already stepped on it several times and it doesn't look like this trend is going to change in the near future. In addition, the Russian government has also added to the plethora of regulations and rules, issuing an official statement regarding the need to pre-install Russian applications on all smart devices with a customizable operating system. This decision has naturally also affected Apple, who strongly commented on the regulation.

It was not yet clear whether the proposal would pass parliament, but afteronec this happened and the regulation was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to Western manufacturers, however, this is just a way to kick out inconvenient companies and make it easier to monitor Russian citizens. According to the official statements of many companies, there was no consultation at all to instruct them on how to proceed. Apple expressed the harshest opinion on the initiative and not only condemned the regulation, but also confirmed that if the sales ban applies to all imported devices without pre-installed Russian applications, he will consider leaving the market there. Whether this is just an empty threat or a tactic to force the Russian government to back down is still unclear, but according to an unnamed source, enabling third-party apps is tantamount to jailbreaking and could represent a potential security risk.

We have reported on the Russian government's tendency to tighten the screws on the internet several times, most recently in connection with a new regulation that will come into force on July 1st next year. This concerns the pre-installed applications that each manufacturer provides with newly imported devices. From the specified date, Russian alternatives will also have to be included in the package, which in practice means that, for example, in addition to FacebookThe local VContacte application must also be pre-installed on the phone or computer. One of the people behind the initiative is Oleg Nikolayev, according to whom the decision will support Russian developers and take a bite out of the monopoly of Western manufacturers. Moreover, the regulation applies to smartphones, smart TVs and computers, while open-source software such as Linux will be spared. The same goes for consoles, which are of course not subject to the restriction.
:-) :-) :-) …. but let me go... :-) I'm not afraid! To an American capitalist, Russian money never stinks and never will. I personally approve of the Russian government's decision to break the US monopoly. Good luck! :-)
You are a Jew and a Russian. siripropaganda tel vid??!!
This is not some kind of monopoly or something. This is another denial of freedom and surveillance of the population, etc. ProYou are the one who will not do what the Russian government wants. The Russians will not do it. Russia is once again returning to the past and bad times.
Support of local developers is just a promotional statement, the intention is quite clear - to track and monitor all users. In this, comrades can join hands with those from the PRC. But what drives those Czech debaters to spread Russian propaganda, I don't know. Say “Dalco” … why are you doing that?
It might be good to worry about the users of the technology in Russia and elsewhere. I am concerned that my personal data may be traded here, and I will find out in a few years. Besides, I can't do anything about it. I think there have already been enough of those concrete events
So even that all storage Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Dropbox, etc. do not allow this :) With all these services you agree (for example) to the indexing of content. Thanks to this, you quickly get back information about what you are looking for, but on the other hand, you allow access to these documents. During indexing, a search for keywords is also performed (terrorism, IS, atomic bomb or anything else that is suitable at the time). The right to access and use this information then falls under the jurisdiction of the country where this data is. That is, if, for example, there is a data center in SA (I really take it as an example) and a woman writes there that she drove a car (she can legally do so since last year), she is breaking the law and the holder of this information is obliged to report the violation of the law (I assume that there is a similar law to ours there).
You must be from Slovakia. There is no other explanation.
And you, you dick.
Well, yes, I speak German.
What does a typical Android user do, for whom everything is bullshit and Russia is the promised land on this website? Go troll somewhere else. Today, even a small child knows how things are in Russia. In the Czech Republic, you and people like you are called "useful fools" who spread Russian propaganda and lies. The worst thing is that these people are often so stupid that they really believe it. So please, go trolling on vkontakte and don't use American and Western technologies, buy Huawei for example, we are not interested in you and your stupid opinions here. Thank you.
This is called a trade war. It's not about anything else. Attempting other reasons is pure hypocrisy. I doubt that Mac Donald does not have menu offers in Russian and written in Cyrillic alphabet from Russia. Likewise in China (it's not an opinion because I haven't been in China)
theoretically, I can also sign the addendum that McDonald's must sell borscht and piroski
No need to add anything because it's on the menu. The ingredients will most likely be locally sourced.ance
That's pretty silly, comparing technology and human snooping to a hamburger.
Yes, Cincibus, I'm from Slovakia and now what... I have my opinion on the neoliberal politics of the Americans and our/your politicians. If it were the other way around, you would all approve of it as progress and an element of democracy... the Russians want it and it's already undemocratic, anti-human... megafire... oh coffee drinkers, coffee drinkers Zuckerberg (the one whose FB is already in almost every device) would be happy with you :-)
ProI'm sorry, change your doctor or medication. You are as stupid as you can see. People like you are called "useful idiots" who spread Russian propaganda thanks to their own stupidity.
it's just bullshit again..:D Apple he fights for freedom, but he marks CRYM as Russian..:D so let him decide.. not such pseudo steps for freedom..
Cinges - the most understandable and meaningful opinion of min. in this forum.
AppLu money doesn't stink, Russian, Chinese, German, it doesn't matter, the main thing is that they are. He will label Crimea as undoubtedly Russian, but he will stand behind when the countries there have to have his SW products.
Apple He made himself out to be a total dilettante in a time of deforestation, as if nestand his cases with violation of privacy (Shíři etc.)
Maybe it will be here twice because the amazing SW LetemSvetem...
Those who defend American privacy against Russian privacy should sometimes read what they are dealing with when using those "free" services. E.g. Apple writes on the page https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/icloud/cz/terms.html
E. Access to Your Account and Content
Company Apple reserves the right to take steps it reasonably considers necessary or appropriate to enforce or verify compliance with any part of this agreement. You acknowledge and agree that the Company Apple may access, use, store, and disclose your account information and your content to law enforcement, government officials, and third parties without any obligation to you, as authorized by the Company Apple as reasonably necessary or appropriate if required by law or if it believes in good faith that such measures (access, use, transfer or retention) are reasonably necessary to: (a) ensure compliance with legal procedures or requirements, (b ) enforcing this Agreement, including investigating possible violations thereof, (c) detecting, preventing, or otherwise resolving security, fraud, or technical problems, or (d) protecting the rights, property, or safety of the Company Apple, its users, third parties or the public as required or permitted by law.
But that's funny, first they will label Crimea as Russian and when they get criticism from all over the world, they will suddenly prefer to leave Russia. It's such a fake company that it's not even possible and there will still be idiots who will believe them Apple takes care of their protection and privacy!
Buy a Huawei and stay away from here.
HeXXX great comment! Mainly Apple where does he go claiming that your data is only yours and we don't even have access to it and suddenly he saw in the conditions not that they monitor all your photos and administrations and data but we also agree that they sell it on!!
Read it again. There is nothing about sales.
Anyway, it's nothing new. That apple provides this information to e.g. the police (on the basis of a court order) has been known for several years.
supposed to support local developers... ahahahahah just look at local developers, the V KONTAKT application is a copy of FB, apple store full of Russian copies of favorite applications, games, etc. The usual nonsense of Putler, which sober-minded people saw through a long time ago, as the saying goes: "Whoever wants to beat another, finds a stick", pure espionage from the Kremlin supported by law
In your place, I'd rather take care of espionage from the "democrats" or something eurodog Marxist socialist brothel.. do you shout like this in China too, hero? You copy.. oh, when Apple packed a f*ckbook in iOS, wasn't that a problem?
Those who support the Russians, let them go there and see what they are.
Those who complain that the American is taking away their privacy and data, should not use American technology and go to Russia or China to see what data protection is all about. :-)
Comrade you know😊
Yes, after those bastards climb up China's ass and Russia has different borders on the maps, I will trust them :D
Only blafi rotten apple uatoupi. The Russian market is big and apple I have quite a % share there. He retreated in the act of retreating to Russia.
Is the Russian market big? Probably not :D They always have twice as many people as the Germans, but the purchasing power is about a tenth of that. Russia is not for apple a much bigger market than us :D
You look like a licked demented vid. Ip works fine in Russia. Versus a droid. It can also be seen on the works of Russian IP editions. And just as someone says retreat, Russia will also retreat. And just as google reconciles, so does it apple. I guess.
And you must be a complexed poor thing if you have to immediately curse people into madness? Just because there are a few rich people there doesn't mean that people outside of Moscow and Petersburg have money there and iPhones sell like hot cakes. And their special editions? That's just Russian (bad) taste. It doesn't say anything about the size of the market. Any idiot can start doing that, but a normal healthy person outside of this stubborn country won't buy it.
ProThe Russians will not make a product that will compete Applu? That means their hardware, operating system and applications. Instead, they want to stuff some crappy applications into foreign products. The Russians are incapable of guts, they are playing at being a superpower and their whole poor country on clay feet is being beaten out of every Czech mayor who gives a damn about them.
Zhirinovsky is cultivated by Putin, he reveals the true thinking of the Russians, and then Putin seems to correct it and look next to him, like a prudent statesman. But in reality, it's one big bastard.
Great, you've learned to use CTRL+C and CTRL+V, but that doesn't mean the user iOS and macOS will not dazzle. I also recommend that you verify information more and delete similar chain letters sent by Russian trolls. You will really have a happier life. Have a nice day.
You are right.
Comrades, those chainsaws and Aer are goneoneDon't read, your bullshit is really unreadable. Buy a Lada and a Huawei and move in with Uncle Puttler, it will be here in SK for a long time without youchatmore precisely. What? That you don't want to? No, you're just hypocrites, none of you would live there for a living, but to whine and whine against the West, that would be fine with you. Collaborators and the 5th column, only disrupt but never come up with anything themselves, just like the SPD here and the Kotlebs in SK. Normal trolls and would-be (ch)patriots. I really want to vomit from people like that, but IQ pumpkins have an opinion on everything.
Then poor Russia will not be such an interesting market for Apple and their products. Rich Russians will definitely buy it abroad on vacation, and the rest will simply stick with the hacked Huawei. This is progress in Russia's submission. One step forward and then half an hour back by bus. But it is their choice, their life, what is left for us after some Russia.
