A Moscow court on December 20 fined Alphabet’s Google more than 4.6 billion rubles ($50.8 million) for the “systemic failure” to delete from YouTube what the court said was false information about Moscow’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The YouTube materials in question are reports about Russian losses during the full-scale aggression against Ukraine that started in February last year and casualties among Ukrainian civilians. In addition to that, the Taganka district court said Google refused to delete videos on YouTube that “propagate nontraditional sexual relations.”
I never understand how Russia fines foreign companies. Does Alphabet/Google/YouTube have equipment in Russia that will be seized?
Why in hell would Google pay? How stupid are the orclords?
Yeah
Like Google gives a flying fuck about what russia says
Well, if russia doesn’t like what google does, google might as well start deleting all content related to russia
I swear YouTube would stop hosting a lot of bullshit 🤷🏻♂️
“So, these false information, are they here in the room with us currently?”
bwhahahahahaha fuck off russia
This spotlights the problem I have with *misinformation* in today’s age. Misinformation to who?
Russia: “Let’s attack ukraine and kill innocent people” –
“Stop writing about us 😭”
Seems like they are just testing shaping operations in the information space to see what will stick.
Lol. Good luck collecting that.
Not the first. Won’t be the last.
This is less about Google and more about the backwards shithole named Russia trying to pretend they are somehow on equal footing with the EU and US at handing out hefty fines to big corporates, and not the toilet less backward hell hole they actually are 🤡
The only thing goggle ever did that I appreciate
I also fine Google 50 billion aaand I only accept cash.
