The tech giant reportedly said that Current Time TV had published content that violated Russian laws
Apple has informed the US state-run Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) that it will remove the app of its media project, Current Time TV, from its Russian online store, the network announced on Saturday.
The app was removed because it included “content that is illegal in Russia” and did not comply with verification rules, Current Time said on its website, citing a letter from Apple. According to the network, Apple also warned that the app had content produced by an organization that was blacklisted in Russia.
The network added that the Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor (RKN) had requested the removal of its products. The regulator itself has not commented on the matter.
