I don’t know how available international news are in russian language, so I’d give language learning apps a pass.
Exactly. I develop a popular news reader app and considered pulling it from the Russian App Store when the conflict started. Then I remembered that providing an RSS reader to Russians is probably a good way to give them access to a wider range of information and quickly decided against removing it.
Man that scuba diver incident was also the turning point for me. Before that I actually thought he was involved in a lot of cool stuff and probably a positive influence but I also didn’t pay all that much attention to him.
