Darius Khalitov,Rostelecom ‘ s vice president for information technology, told RTVI that the services of the American corporation Google, services running on Android can be blocked in Russia if it wishes.
According to Darius Khalitov, senior vice president of Rostelecom, Russians should understand that all foreign services”may in principle disappear” or be blocked.
To”kill Android”, it will be enough to block Google services that are responsible for geo-positioning tags, weather forecasts and many others, which are the basis for other applications, taxi and courier services.
Khalitov said that Russians use a variety of Google Mobile Services every day , which are an integral part of the Android operating system. These services are responsible for geolocation, weather forecasts and other things, that allow you to call couriers, taxis, and more.
Khalitov also said that Russians can lose even push notifications from various applications.
Formally, Google left Russia a long time ago, but in fact, its services are still working and are used by millions of Russians. As you know, since the beginning of October, Google has again begun to confirm the authenticity of a user’ s account by a phone number from the Russian Federation.
