Russia fines Google US$20 decillion for blocking pro-Russian channels

regina.ctvnews.ca — October 31, 2024, 03:01 PM UTC

Russia has fined Google over 2 undecillion rubles, equivalent to about US$20 decillion, for not paying fines related to blocking pro-Russian channels on YouTube. This amount far exceeds the global economy's size.

A Russian court previously ordered Google to restore the blocked channels or face increasing penalties, which double weekly. The Kremlin stated that the fine symbolizes the issue of content restrictions on its broadcasters.

Despite the legal challenges, Google continues to operate in Russia, although it has limited its activities since the invasion of Ukraine. The company has acknowledged ongoing legal matters but does not expect them to significantly impact its earnings.
