THE TELEGRAPH: Moscow seeks compensation after tech giant blocked pro-Kremlin content
Russia has demanded Google pay a fine worth more than the world’s GDP for blocking pro-Kremlin media outlets.
Judges in Moscow are seeking around $20 decillion from the technology giant, many times the estimated $100-trillion size of the global economy. If written out in full, the fine would be 20 followed by 33 zeros.
The penalty, which far eclipses Google’s own $2-trillion market value, comes after the US technology business barred pro-Moscow propaganda channel Tsargrad TV, which is owned by oligarch Konstantin Malofeev, from YouTube four years ago. » | Matthew Field, Senior Technology Reporter | Wednesday, October 30, 2024
