In a stunning move, a Russian court has imposed an unprecedented fine of $2.5 decillion (2,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 USD) on Google, citing the company’s restriction of Russian content on YouTube.
This enormous penalty represents a significant escalation in Russia’s ongoing legal confrontations with major Western tech companies, particularly around censorship and content regulation.
Google, which has faced fines from Russia in the past over similar disputes, is expected to respond to this astronomical ruling. This development may further intensify the standoff between Russia and Western social media and technology giants.
