Apple pulled several VPNs off its Russian App Store.

Russia’s communications regulator ordered Apple to remove some of the VPN apps available in the country, according to a notice Apple sent to the developers of Red Shield VPN, Le VPN, and others:

We are writing to notify you that your application, your application, per demand from Roskomnadzor will be removed from the Russia App Store because it includes content that is illegal in Russia.

In March, Russia made it illegal to advertise VPNs that don’t comply with the country’s strict laws.
