@brutamerica: A Russian court has imposed an astronomical fine on Google—around $20 decillion (that's 33 zeros)—for blocking Russian media channels on YouTube. The case, which began in 2020, centers on YouTube’s ban of Tsargrad, an ultra-nationalist Russian channel, in response to U.S. sanctions. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the list has expanded to 17 banned channels, including Russia's Ministry of Defence station, Zvezda. The staggering fine has accumulated due to a daily penalty doubling weekly, creating an unprecedented total. While Russia is attempting to pursue Google’s global assets, Google remains largely unaffected, even stating the case is unlikely to impact its financial outlook. #GoogleFine #RussiaSanctions #YouTube #TechNews #20Decillion #Russia #Putin
