Russian officials have confirmed that Google will not face an immediate ban in the country, despite ongoing regulatory pressures on tech platforms. The decision reflects concerns over disrupting Android-dependent smartphone users, who comprise 60% of the market.

Lawmaker Anton Gorelkin emphasized legal proceedings rather than outright blocking to address Google's compliance issues. This contrasts with stricter actions against YouTube and WhatsApp, which have faced DNS removals and 'extremist' labeling.

The stance highlights Russia's balancing act between tech sovereignty and preserving critical digital infrastructure. Roskomnadzor continues enforcing platform restrictions while avoiding measures that could destabilize the mobile ecosystem.
