Russia has officially passed a law banning the sale of electronic equipment that doesn’t have Russian software pre-installed on it.

The law — which is set to go into effect starting July 1, 2020 — will force electronic equipment sold in Russia — such as smartphones, computers, and smart TVs — to ship pre-installed with apps from Russian tech firms.
