Digging through the link the other commentator posted, Apple complied with 88% of Russia's requests for information and 94% of China's with over 1000 requests from each of those nations... Versus Google which has avoided giving information to or censoring search results in both countries and as a result is mostly banned.

None of Google's services are banned in Russia.

  Not yet but Google doesn't seem to cooperate with the Russian government either. https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-is-fined-390-mln-russia-not-deleting-banned-content-interfax-2022-07-18/ https://www.reuters.com/technology/google-is-fined-390-mln-r... Google's given up on business there but still puts their sites out there (as they should).

    With Apple leaving Russia and removing government-affiliated apps from App Store with no way to side-load them, the only other option is Android now and blocking Google completely will probably render most smartphones useless, as most Android phones rely on Google services to function. I think that's why it's not banned yet.
