"remain in control" is also what i thought, but then i changed my mind and now think the reason is now (almost) purely economical. The reason is that :
- google maps is blocked, but apple maps isn't
- google is blocked, but yahoo and bing aren't
- youtube is blocked, but other video sites such as rutube.ru are accessible, and just searching sensitive keywords led me to things like that https://rutube.ru/video/49d364dd24dc25c5855aa9113c107567/?ref=search https://rutube.ru/video/49d364dd24dc25c5855aa9113c107567/?re...
