Russia fines Apple $12m for ‘abusing’ its position

MOSCOW: Russia has imposed a $12.1 million fine on Apple for “abusing” its dominant position in the market by giving preference to its own applications, a government regulator said on Tuesday.
The move comes as Russia ratchets up pressure against Western tech companies, with authorities aiming to bring the Russian segment of the internet under state control.
It also comes as anti-trust agencies in the European Union, the United States, Britain and South Korea take increasing interest in Apple, with firms wanting to break free of the terms of its global app store.

What else can the dictatorial, despotic, autocratic, arbitrary and authoritarian regime of the Russian Federation do at this crucial and critical juncture in time and history to look important, thumb its impression, ink its authority, stay afloat, get counted, act as a world power, look like a top trend-setter and above all, remain in the powerful multimedia limelight?
