The head of the Ministry of Digital Development, Mikhail Fedorov, turned to Facebook, Netflix, and also to Apple in order to block Russian media, as well as services and services on the territory of the aggressor country.
– I turned to YouTube about blocking Russian propaganda media that call us Nazis and drug addicts, lie and promote war. Contacted Meta about blocking Facebook and Instagram. I turned to Netflix about blocking the service in the Russian Federation, Fedorov said.
The purpose of the appeal is not to deprive Russians of access to information, but to reach out to young people , a proactive and thinking population.
In the case of Apple, the politician asks the company to support sanctions from the US authorities, as well as a ban on uploading its Russian services to the App Store for smartphones and other gadgets of the company.
It is known that Apple Pay and Google Pay payment systems do not work in Russia now – this applies to users of Russian banks that have been sanctioned.
Thus, payment services to customers of these banks are not available abroad.
Information about the impossibility of using Apple Pay in Russia was confirmed by Fedorov.
– Russia is already seeing problems with access to Apple Pay! – reported in the official's Telegram channel.
Recall that on February 25, the National Bank of Ukraine decided to close the banks of the aggressor state on the territory of Ukraine. Now Russian financial institutions will no longer operate in Ukraine.
