  1. “A Russian court has fined Google 3 million rubles ($38.680) on Thursday for not deleting YouTube videos accused of “promoting LGBT Propaganda” and “false information on Russia’s military campaign in Ukraine”.

    “Over the last year, Moscow has levied dozens of fines against Western companies as part of a drive to restrict what Russian internet users see online.”

  2. They want to delete YouTube videos that feature gay men and lesbians in them. Not censoring them in Russia, no outright deleting them for everyone in the world.

    Just being gay is propaganda in itself according to Russian government.

    As a gay man propaganda and grooming have lost all meaning when they changed it meaning to me simply existing.

  3. This is where Russia learns the hard lesson that you never go toe to toe with Google. You might as well attack Disney too.

  4. Russia is so obsessed with the gays one starts to wonder if they’re not, you know, being tempted 😏😂

  5. “are LGBTQ people humans?”

    Google: “yes, LGBTQ people are humans. Trans rights are human rights.”

    Russia: “NOT IN MY COUNTRY”

  6. I feel that sooner than later, whatever news come from russia will go from irrelevant to non existent.

  7. Well, Google is the master at data shaping. Shouldn’t be too much work for them to flip a few switches and tailor Russia’s information
