Russian watchdog tells Google, Apple to remove Navalny app: report
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian communications watchdog Roskomnadzor has demanded that Alphabet s Google and Apple (AAPL.O) remove Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny s app from their stores, Interfax news agency quoted the watchdog as saying on Friday.
Roskomnadzor cited a Russian court ruling that found jailed Navalny s anti-corruption foundation an extremist organisation and banned it. Navalny s allies have published news and blogs through the app after Roskomnadzor blocked their websites.
