Apple changes Crimea map to meet Russian demands
Found on BBC News on Saturday, 30 November 2019
The region, which has a Russian-speaking majority, is now shown as Russian territory on Apple Maps and its Weather app, when viewed from Russia.
But the apps do not show it as part of any country when viewed elsewhere.
Vasily Piskaryov, chairman of the Duma security and anti-corruption committee, said Apple had complied with the Russian constitution.
Google, which also produces a popular Maps app, also shows Crimea as belonging to Russia when viewed from the country. The changes happened in March.
When it comes to propaganda, you always have to make sure that those who can influence lots of people are acting the way you want them to.
