除了 Google 停止俄羅斯用 google map、全球最大駭客組織「匿名者」(Anonymous)向俄羅斯政府展開「網路戰爭」,Apple 也宣布暫停向俄羅斯銷售 iPhone 以及其他產品!
根據稍早外媒公布 Apple 的聲明稿,Apple 除了聲明對人權的支持與譴責暴力立場外,現在將停止所有商品在俄羅斯銷售,並且限制該地區對 Apple Pay 與 Apple 地圖的使用。
Apple 聲明如下:
“We are deeply concerned about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and stand with all of the people who are suffering as a result of the violence. We are supporting humanitarian efforts, providing aid for the unfolding refugee crisis, and doing all we can to support our teams in the region.
We have taken a number of actions in response to the invasion. We have paused all product sales in Russia. Last week, we stopped all exports into our sales channel in the country. Apple Pay and other services have been limited. RT News and Sputnik News are no longer available for download from the App Store outside Russia. And we have disabled both traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine as a safety and precautionary measure for Ukrainian citizens.
We will continue to evaluate the situation and are in communication with relevant governments on the actions we are taking. We join all those around the world who are calling for peace.”
