2021-12-06 09:57:29

Asian Tech Press (Dec 6) -- U.S. tech giant Apple Inc. has taken legal action against Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) for demanding that it stop its App Store's payment policy, Russia Today reported Sunday.

Apple is currently seeking a judicial review of the regulator's warning.

The FAS issued a warning in August asking Apple to allow app developers to suggest alternative payment methods to users instead of using Apple's in-app purchase system.

In October, the Russian regulator filed an antitrust lawsuit against Apple for the violation.
