Google Reportedly Removes Navalny Ad After Russian Government Complains

Quote:
Navalny has called for nationwide protests on September 9 against a much-reviled government proposal to raise retirement ages.

Navalny's Anticorruption Foundation said the pension-reform protest has nothing to do with the elections and that the advertisement contains no election-related slogans or appeals.

Volkov noted that the advertisement was blocked even in regions where there is no voting set for September 9 and in regions where authorities have authorized the pension-reform protests.

"The corporate lawyers at Google simply don't understand that there can be situations – like the current one – and countries – like Russia – in which the demands of the authorities are often illegal," Volkov wrote.
