❗️A possible Google ban in Russia would entail a whole range of negative effects, but such plans do not currently exist.
This was stated by Anton Gorelkin, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy.
The deputy made this comment in response to remarks from his committee colleague Andrei Svintsov, who told a radio station that blocking Google is technically feasible, but it is hardly something worth pursuing at the moment.
"As for the loud statements about a ban — there are actually no such plans: I specifically checked this with the regulatory authorities," Gorelkin wrote. "It is obvious that a ban would cause a whole range of negative effects — primarily problems with the functionality of the Android operating system (which powers 60% of all smartphones used by Russian users)."
The parliamentarian also noted that a ban is unlikely to force Google to pay the existing fine resulting from lawsuits filed by Russian companies.
