Summary:
- Apple is reportedly cooperating with the Russian government to remove VPN apps from the App Store in Russia, according to a report from The Bell.
- This move comes after Russia passed a law in 2021 requiring foreign internet companies to open local offices and store user data within the country.
- The removal of VPN apps from the App Store in Russia is seen as a concession by Apple to the Russian government's efforts to tighten control over the internet and restrict access to content that the government deems undesirable.
