"The Russian government is attempting to fine Google about $20 decillion, a figure with 34 zeros that’s exponentially larger than the world’s economy, over a decision by YouTube—owned by Google’s parent Alphabet—to block channels run by Russian state-run media, according to Russian officials.
A Russian court fined Google for “removing channels on the YouTube platform” and ordered the company to restore channels belonging to Russian broadcasters or face unspecified additional fines, which will double every day if not paid within nine months, according to the Russian state-run outlet Tass.
YouTube announced in March 2022 the platform would block channels operated by Russian state-run media—including RT and Sputnik—for publishing content about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine that violates the platform’s policies for content that denies, minimizes or trivializes “well-documented violent events.”
