Russian phones to have software that espouses national values
- Monday | 27th January, 2020
MOSCOW (Reuters) – Smartphones and other devices sold in Russia must be pre-installed with software that is morally sound and espouses traditional Russian values, according to new draft rules. President Vladimir Putin signed legislation last year requiring all smartphones, computers and smart TV sets sold in the country to come pre-installed with Russian software. A draft government resolution seen by Reuters said such software should help with the “formation of the priority of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values”. The draft rules say software and apps can be put forward for consideration by private companies, state entities or the central bank. Supporters of the software requirement hope it will help Russian IT firms vie with foreign competitors.
