A court in Moscow has fined Apple for failing to remove information related to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Interfax reported. The Magistrates Court in the Taganka district ordered Apple on August 3 to pay 400,000 rubles ($4,300.) The Russian media watchdog, Roskomnadzor, ordered Apple earlier to remove from Apple Podcasts materials related to Russia's aggression against Ukraine that is officially called in Russia a "special military operation." Moscow has been making moves to limit access even more to independent media, including social media, since it started its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
