Russia has fined Google 2 undecillion (20 decillion) USD for banning Russian TV channels from YouTube. Russia fined Google starting at 100,000 every day since the ban in 2020, with the fine doubling for every week of noncompliance.

Good to see a government sticking to their exponential fines against corporations in at least this instance. Russia has no need for Google anyway, since Yandex and co can fill the gap. This should also ensure Russia’s national sovereignty.

    Oh, you are right, I read that wrong. Apparently it started out at 100 000 rubles, and doubles every week. So yeah, we are getting there.
