The Russian government called for a local office by the end of 2021 this week if an Apple and other high -tech companies continue their business in the country.
Roskomnadzor of the country has warned that companies that do not have official official offices can restrict ads, data collection, and remittance, or prohibit operations.In July this year, Russia's President Putin has signed a law that obliges the establishment of a local office for a company that works on the Internet in Russia.And earlier this week, Roscom Nazol has revealed what to do for the first time to meet Russia's requirements.
This corporate list includes Apple, Facebook, Google, Tiktok, Twitter and Telegram.According to REUTERS, this measure is because the Russian government is trying to nurture and strengthen domestic IT companies in the United States High -Tech.The Russian government has already launched policies, such as taxation on foreign digital services, tax reductions on domestic IT companies, and obligations for pre -installing Russian software to smartphones sold in Russia.Apple has made many concessions, including incorporating the mechanism of introducing government -recommended apps at the first start of the iPhone and responding to the demands to delete the opposition leader app.According to Roscom Nazol to REUTERS, the target companies must agree to establish an office in Russia and to "limit access to Russian laws."。
The 9TO5MAC U.S. pointed out that this basically means "censorship of information against the Russian government," and that high -tech companies are in a difficult position.None of the companies named by Roscom Nazol have commented on this.If you obey the request, you may be able to support the Russian government's censorship and human rights infringement (attempted to kill the anti -administrative activist Navarinui, followed by the subsequent imprisonment, etc.), which may be strictly pursued in the United States and Europe.There is also.
