Apple drops iOS Private Relay feature for users in Russia

Apple's vision of putting user privacy-first is just marketing.
They just 'turn off' their mantra in Belarus, China, Colombia, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkmenistan, Uganda and the Philippines (and counting)....

Agree. But what should they do instead?

 Nope Apple is doing a lot. Sadly there is nothing you can do here, just stop selling your products. And what you achieved?
And this has nothing in common with CSAM discussione where multi DB are used so no one is in control of them, indeed CSAM would be available (not anymore) on USA only where there are entities who protect children. Apple always did what is possible to do, even when their choices are easily manipulated by detractors. But in this case Apple can’t do nothing. And it is pretty sad.
you should angry with our politicians who have more power to change Russia government.

Take the money if they want but stop pontificating about how ethical they are.

Wrong. By talking about the changes they need to make and raising awareness about which countries require those changes, they do more to influence eventual change in those countries than simply storming out of the sandbox like a spoiled child.
