Apple delists podcast that the Russian government wanted blocked.

Russian communications regulator Roskomnadzor has amped up its censorship push since the country invaded Ukraine last year, and it asked Apple earlier this year to remove the news podcast from Meduza, a Latvian-based independent outlet that publishes news about Russia.

Now Meduza says it received the following notice from Apple, with no mention of what the issue is that apparently needs to be resolved.

We found an issue with your show, Что случилось [What Happened], which must be resolved before it’s available on Apple Podcasts. Your show has been removed from Apple Podcasts.

The podcast is still available on Spotify, Google Podcasts, and YouTube, as well as within Meduza’s app on iOS or Android.
