Google has followed Apple’s lead by removing the Russia Today and Sputnik apps from its Play mobile app store. Western companies such as Spotify, Apple, Google, and YouTube, also followed this example and limited Russian content. According to the FAZ, all providers who distribute content from the two media will also be blocked. On Wednesday, the EU decided to ban the two channels to limit pro-Russian propaganda. Now the national Russian media companies RT (Russia Today) and Sputnik are also facing some challenges. More and more Russian companies are faced with international bans and boycotts. I've tried a ton of musical streaming services: Google Play Music, Apple Music, Deezer, Yandex.Music (a Russian attempt to have something similar to Google Play Music), Pandora, now the mentioned above VK.com is trying to make its music database into a paid music service - and NONE of them combine the sleek design and soulful service of Spotify.The sanctions against Russia as a reaction to the bloody war of aggression against Ukraine are getting serious. True, Russia is notorious for piracy, but you should just see a discussion about Spotify on vk.com (Russian facebook) where people can't help but bitterly laugh at all the ways they go to actually PAY money for the GREAT service and the payment just doesn't go through! I'm from Russia and I would have been willingly paying for the Premium for two years now! But no, there's no way to easily go around all the obstacles: it doesn't accept Russian cards, it's a **bleep** of time spent on trying to create an "American PayPal" that still turns out to be not working.Īnd there are many people like me here.
