The Gutless Wonders at Apple

Apple notified Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) on Friday that it will remove all of the broadcaster’s apps from the Russian App Store in response to a demand from Russia’s federal censor, Roskomnadzor.

In its letter to the U.S.-funded agency, Apple said it’s deleting the apps because they “contain content that is illegal in Russia and that doesn’t comply with app review guidelines,” RFE/RL said. The statement also reportedly noted that the apps contain materials from organizations declared “undesirable” by the Russian authorities.

Not everyone who speaks Russian lives in Russia, but that makes no difference to the cowardly gutless weasels in Cupertino.

(I'm sure that Google is no better and probably worse.)
