Russia Fines Wikipedia and Apple for Spreading 'False Information' on Ukraine Conflict

A Russian court has fined Apple and the Wikimedia Foundation for failing to remove content deemed to be "false information" about Russia's military actions in Ukraine. The Wikimedia Foundation was fined 3 million rubles ($33,000) for retaining material on Russian-language Wikipedia pages that violated a law against discrediting Russia's military, while Apple was fined 400,000 rubles ($4,400) for not deleting podcasts and apps with similar information. Russia has been cracking down on criticism or questioning of its military campaign in Ukraine, with some critics receiving severe punishments.
