Russia fines Apple for violating ‘LGBT propaganda’ law: Report

A Russian court on Tuesday fined U.S. tech giant Apple six million roubles ($76,510) for violating Russian rules on what Moscow calls “LGBT propaganda,” the state TASS news agency reported.

Russia in 2023 widened existing restrictions on the promotion of “non-traditional sexual relations” amid a broader crackdown on LGBT rights, part of President Vladimir Putin’s push to uphold what he calls traditional values.
