Is the “Navalny” application experiencing its last hours on the App Store?

It was the organization itself that announced the news. The federal monitoring service supervising communications, information technologies and mass media Roskomnadzor (RKN) has asked Apple and Google to remove the “Navalny” application from download platforms. According to the Russian service, the latter created by Vladimir Putin's opponent Alexei Navalny would in reality be a means of promoting the NGO "anti-corruption foundation", an organization created by the politician himself in 2011. Problem, in June this year, the Moscow court declared the NGO “extremist” and liquidated it.

Apple back to the wall

In order to reassure,Apple initially assured that the firm would not give in to government demandsand that CSAM tools will only be used to combat child pornography. An announcement that resonates like a bell in the application businessNavalny, many are in fact waiting for Apple's response in this matter. If Apple were to obey the requests of the RKN, why could the latter not also ask it, in a few months, to modifyCSAM toolsso that they analyze other, much more political databases?
