Russia forces Apple to remove VPN apps from the App Store

If only iOS had (real) sideloading... But no, we get authoritarian big tech to benefit authoritarian governments.

The article does not explain why Russia is doing it. So please some explain it?

Information space control, like all authoritarian gov't try to do

VPNs allow the people to access content the gov't doesn't control or filter

How many countries does that? Why do people allow it?

> How many countries does that?

It's a spectrum, in avenues and approaches, but too many imho

> Why do people allow it?

- some don't have a choice

- apathy, it's a lot of effort to continually fight against it and many people don't pay enough attention or see it effect their lives directly

I don’t understand why Apple bends to the will of a sanctioned country.
