Buongiorno, applicazioni (bot) illegali...
«Why Telegram had to follow Apple and Google when they suspended a voting app» by Pavel Durov - September 25, 2021 --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- This year Google and Apple started to require that apps like Telegram comply with local laws in the countries where they operate. [...] An example of this occurred last week, when Apple and Google banned a Russian voting app due to local laws. The app offered tactical voting advice, directing most of its users to vote for the communist party in the Russian parliamentary elections last weekend. This voting app also existed for months as a Telegram bot [...] Telegram was forced to follow the stores’ policies and temporarily suspend the bot for the 2 remaining days of the election. [...] last weekend was not the right moment to start a war – for two reasons. First, without support from Apple and Google, any fight with a local regulator is lost before it starts. [...] Second, this particular demand of the Russian authorities wasn't obviously unconstitutional, as they referred to a law that restricts campaigning after people start casting their votes. Laws against political campaigning while voting is underway exist in many countries and the Russian counterpart had been introduced a long time ago. [...] [...] A request to temporarily suspend a campaigning bot while an election is already underway is nowhere close to demands for mass surveillance or mass censorship. --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Sostanzialmente, i dirigenti di Telegram lo hanno fatto per evitare che l'app stessa (Telegram) venisse bannata dai rispettivi app store.
