Russia fined Google more money than the entire world's GDP2024-11-01 19:55 by Daniela
A Russian court is demanding that Google pay $20 decillion American dollars after several of the country's TV channels and media outlets were blocked from YouTube, according to multiple reports. The fine, which is 20 with 33 zeros attached, is a 37-digit figure. The excessive number comes from a Moscow court that imposed it after 17 of the country's TV channels and media platforms were blocked from YouTube, which Google owns, Russian news outlet RBC reported. The blocking of the channels occurred after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The fine is significantly more than Google's market value of $2.15 trillion, but not higher than a googol, which contains 100 zeroes.

And even if it wanted to, Google couldn't cover the bill. Read more -here-
