- Country:
- Russian Federation
Russia on Wednesday demanded an explanation from Apple after applications operated by the Russian tech firm VK were removed from the U.S. firm's App Store.
The communications regulator Roskomnadzor in a statement said the restrictions were discriminatory and violated Russian internet users' right to free information and communications.
VK operates the Russian social media platform VKontakte, akin to Facebook.
