No, Google never stood up to Russia. A year ago they blocked a perfectly legal list of candidates published by Navalny team.

Brands don't care at all what's next to their advertising. It is much more important for them to be on the right side of the conflict.

What if you want to see Australia and Greenland at the same time? Globes have their limitations.

They will simply have their company taken away from them.
Nevertheless, they had many years before the war to start marking their news as 'Official'. Or sell the news service. They certainly could have done so. This would have solved their image problems.

Very often they say things like this: “War is certainly bad and unfair, but we have to go all the way once we have started it”. Or, “the war is unfair, but I can't be against my own country”.
There are no war supporters among people I know though, everyone has their own bubble.

My bet is X.com as a twitter replacement.

Putin might nuke Warsaw an hour after the no-fly zone is imposed. He's that crazy.

Maybe you should double or triple the prices for Russian clients and send extra to Ukrainian charities or the army. As a Russian customer, I would be sympathetic to this and would be happy to support Ukraine in this way.

Exactly. Putin on nuclear options:
“Certainly, it would be a global disaster for humanity; a disaster for the entire world,” Putin said, in an interview for a Russian documentary “The World Order 2018,” adding that “as a citizen of Russia and the head of the Russian state I must ask myself: Why would we want a world without Russia?”

I presume EU customers mostly use non-EU operating systems, browsers, other software. I find it hard to believe there's a real barrier.
fabrika | 4 years ago | on: Google, Apple remove Navalny app from stores as Russian elections begin
There is no law in Russia that prevents Apple from hosting an app called Navalny published by Roman Rubanov. The content of the app is also legal even by Russian standards: it is basically a list of officially registered candidates supported by Navalny.

Nice, this will hurt both Starbucks and social media. The rest of us win.

On iPadOS it ignores pointer and external keyboard. Wish their apps were more native to the platforms.
fabrika | 6 years ago | on: Apple approves previously rejected HKMap.live app
Our game uses emoji to represent players and their structures on the map. Just like HKMap app which displays live events using iOS emoji font.
We’ve been rejected until we came up with our own graphics for emoji. Who knows, maybe this was why they were rejected. Also, the UI is quite buggy. Could be another reason.

Putin is free not to tell anything to his voters, as always. See Smolenkov, a high profile spy who safely left Russia. Voters don’t care much.

"Even in US we can find certain domains which are blocked and cannot be accessed like those which contain CP or wild anti-humanism contents."
Is it true? I always assumed US never blocks access to websites. They would rather ask the hosting provider to take down the website or try to arrest the author.

As soon as you have internet you will check lottery results first. It's more exciting.

The problem for the majority of the visitors are pop-ups. Everyone just clicks the green button. No time to read two clear options or bother with dropdowns. That's how people behave.
These pop-ups are required by GDPR. If your site doesn't have a pop-up you risk losing 20M Euro.

Thank you! Emoji is a free and a well-known franchise that we actually love. Our first submission to the App Store was without any graphics, just emoji symbols. However, we found ourselves in the Emoji Crackdown (Apple rejecting everything with Apple emoji) so we had to create our own set.

Can you share your sources please? Here, for example, they claim that the UK produces 5.5 tons per person, not 8. Much less than, say, the US with 15 tons:
