Interfax: Apple removed the mobile apps of 25 VPN services from its App Store in Russia, following a request by state communications watchdog Roskomnadzor

U.S. tech giant Apple (AAPL.O) removed the mobile apps of 25 VPN services from its App Store, following a request …

The truth is, Apple deliberately conflates ‘complying with the law’ with ‘complying with officials’ orders.' These are not the same. Often, officials issue orders that are illegal or abusive. In countries without rule of law, such orders aren't overturned—they're enforced. @Apple
