> What you say about 'google employees threatened with arrest' is pure bullshit.
> The decisions came after Russian authorities, who claim the app is illegal, threatened to prosecute local employees of Apple and Google — a sharp escalation in the Kremlin’s campaign to rein in the country’s largely uncensored internet. A person familiar with Google’s decision said the authorities had named specific individuals who would face prosecution, prompting it to remove the app.

- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoThat's just a sensationalised version of what happened in the reality (bullshit). Russian political coercement doesn't work like that. Source: I'm Russian and i know pretty much about these things. I was detained at protests against Putin and the service I run is blocked in Russia. And you failed to address the fact that Android users could use the app just fine via direct install, and NO Google employees were arrested. But no iOS users could use the app, and that is the result of Apple pathetic policy to control and restrict devices after selling them.
- dabenski 5y agoso there is a phone that allows you to direct install why not buy a phone that fits your need then and since your breaking the law installing a illegal app why not just jail break the iphone for side loads
