We have been hearing a lot more about Russia lately than most of us would probably like. However, some of its actions are more humorous than serious. A great example of this is its current effort to punish foreign companies for things that Russia has never minded before – for example, storing Russian citizens’ data outside the country. This is precisely the issue that is now being investigated. Apple. 

It's only been a few days since a Moscow court began issuing fines to foreign companies, led by Twitch, Pinterest, and Airbnb for not storing the data of Russians who use these services on servers in the country. Storing data in the country is supposedly supposed to ensure their higher security and privacy, which, however, in combination with Russia is more of a laughing phrase than a reality. And since the same thing is also being done by Apple, apparently should have already been asked to change his procedures in order to avoid a possible fine. But that's it Apple almost 100% will not hear, because something like this is unacceptable for him, especially in the current situation. And even if it were permissible, objectively speaking, it would not be worth it. The amount of fines that the Russian court has imposed for this matter is around 38 thousand dollars. It is probably clear to everyone that the transfer of the storage facilities would Apple it came out to a much higher amount, so the occasional payment of a similar "burning fee" probably won't hurt him too much.
