"Roskomnadzor demanded that AppStore and Google Play stop distributing the application of an organisation recognised as extremist and banned on the territory of the Russian Federation. This application is used to continue activities and to hold events of the Anti-Corruption Foundation," Roskomnadzor said in a statement on 2 September.
The request is based on the demand of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office. The failure to take action entails administrative responsibility and can be considered "election interference," the watchdog warned.
