In Russia, a controversial law was approved today with the signature of President Putin, which significantly complicates the life of manufacturers of smartphones and other "smart" electronics. Reactions did not have to wait long and many manufacturers strongly objected to the new law.
The new legislation requires all smart electronics sold on the Russian market to contain government-approved Russian software. It concerns both phones and computers, tablets or smart TVs. The main argument is to increase the competitiveness of domestic developers with foreign ones, as well as the "practicality" of the fact that owners will not have to download new applications immediately after turning on a new device. However, these are rather substitute reasons, they will really be a little somewhere else, and it is clear to many what the issue is in this case.
The law, which comes into force on July 1 next year, is also not liked by electronics retailers, who say it was adopted in a hurry, without any consultation with sellers or manufacturers, and without a sufficient comment process from various interested parties. A big (and probably justified) fear is that pre-installed applications can be used to spy on users or what they do, what they watch and what information they consume.
As for Apple, the initial reactions to the bill were very negative, and the company made it known that it would prefer to leave the entire market if it had to sell devices with pre-installed 3rd party software. Today's reactions directly from the company were allegedly in the spirit of the fact that the new law after Apple (and others) practically requires the installation of an imaginary jailbreak in all devices sold on the Russian market. And the company allegedly cannot identify with this risk.
According to Russian media, the Russian government will prepare a list of applications that electronics manufacturers will have to automatically pre-install in their devices sold on the Russian market. It can be expected that after the publication of this list, something will only start to happen from the manufacturers. It will be interesting to see how Apple reacts to the whole case, because the original statement is basically in complete contradiction with how the company behaves in the Chinese market, where it gives way to the regime where necessary.

In China, is the device affected in any way when sold? That it is supported to this situation.
Let's hope that something like this does not occur to Putin's loyal servant...
pathological schizophrenia in the Czech idiotic, stolen, envious, scumbag, scumbag Kocourkov. Putin, Putin, Russia, Putin, Putin, Putin, Russia, Russia. And the very next day, Putin, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Putin, Russia, Russia, Russia, Putin …………….
Freedom is something completely different from the mandatory installation of secret service software.
And this is not only a problem for Russia, but also for China...
and at the same time in Russia, everyone would like to live there... oh wait...
….again, I never came to APPLE so I can’t leave Apple….I use Lenovo and Huawei spy communist machines
what am I watching, Apple and Google are also watching, so why can't the Russians watch too, let China introduce it and we'll see Apple's reaction :-DDDDDDD
You should be gone from everywhere by now
This is perhaps simple and logical. Both Russia and China are huge markets... If the manufacturer doesn't like something, let him leave. Our customer, our master….the whole world will not listen only to Soros….
They will do it like in China, the USA is only after money. US corporations are as crooked as a Turkish saber, this also applies to their trading style. The boss of a German company asks his journeyman how the customer was... OK boss, he understood that Made in Germany is quality and he says he will call. ...The head of the US concern asks the same thing, the answer is: ...Great Joe, everything is OK, I asked and the customer has money to destroy us... And when half of the degenerate Czech society understands how global business is done, only then will they know that they have enough at the time of the Czechs the best prime minister since 1989.
How dare you humiliate our Godfather by addressing the Prime Minister.
Senate Havloid filth Fischer called CHUJ HAWEI will solve it.
Everyone would like information
I don't know what they would do with mobile phones in the Middle Ages. I don't have a signal in the dugouts anyway.
I think that Chinese technology and Russian applications are all espionage in nature. American and Western are, from a purely practical point of view, "focused on PC games for children and adults" to spend quality leisure time.
this is a Jew-Nazi thread
