Now Russia seems to have decided to take one of the extreme steps that will undoubtedly affect Russians to a great extent.
Recently Aleksei Didenko, a member of the Russian State Duma, said that Google, including its Android operating system and Apple’s iOS, will soon be blocked in Russia. He advised the citizens of Russia to not cling to services like YouTube, stating, “Soon Google will be blocked, along with Google Android. iOS will also be blocked, and this will not be our initiative.”
