Russia decided to fine Apple for 'LGBT propaganda' for nearly $100,000.
Apple received a fine in Russia and the EU
In a Moscow court, a fine of 7.5 million rubles was imposed on the American company Apple for 'LGBT propaganda'. This amount exceeds $88,900. Three protocols were drawn up for violations of two articles of the code regarding 'LGBT propaganda'.
It is also worth noting the fines from the European Union. Earlier, the EU fined Apple 500 million euros and Meta 200 million euros for violating new digital market regulation rules. These sanctions are less than expected due to the threat of tariffs from US President Donald Trump, who considers the EU regulation an obstacle to trade.
Financial Times reports that Brussels intends to impose minimal fines on Apple and Meta as part of the Digital Markets Act. This is one of the steps to reduce tensions in relations with President Trump, who threatened actions due to previous fines for American firms abroad.
