Russia Fines Google US$ 390 Million for Repeated Content Violations
KONTAN.CO.ID - MOSCOW. Alphabet's Google was fined 21,8 billion roubles (US$ 387 million) on Monday by a Russian court for a repeated failure to remove content that Moscow deems illegal. The Interfax news agency reported.
Russia has long objected to foreign tech platforms' distribution of content that fall foul of its restrictions, but what had been a simmering dispute has erupted into a full-on battle since Moscow assembled its armed forces before sending them into Ukraine in February.
