The company clarified that applications and developers in RuStore undergo mandatory moderation and verification in order to prevent the download of malicious content. “To register, the developer needs to specify the VK ID, the address of the site or page on the social network, enter the phone number and mail, and then go through online verification: this will require you to upload a passport photo and show your face to the camera. Algorithms check the data for a few minutes. The platform rules are the same for individuals and legal entities,” the company said.
