Is Putin personally responsible for every lawsuit that takes place in Russia?Maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation, but when I read the article it looked like the company sued google, the Russian courts implemented a fine, and that fine was to continuously rise as long as it was not being followed.Maybe we need to start doing fines this way in the west for big companies so they stop treating Court judgments for legal violations like a cost of doing business.

@stux Something isn't adding up. $2.5 decillion is 2.5*10^33, not 2.5*10^21

@stux I got tired of being called a "Kremlin stooge" and "Putin puppet" by American trolls for opposing more aggressive military intervention in Ukraine, despite the reasoning being that Putin WOULD be unhinged enough get trigger happy with those tactical nukes! He's a madman.America's military planners know this, of course, which is why (so far at least) they aren't listening much to the corporate war hawks and their shills in the media, who are as reckless and short-sighted as Putin himself.

@stux “A Russian court ordered Google to restore the [Russian state media Youtube] accounts and imposed a fine of $1,029 — or 100,000 rubles — every day that Google kept the channels down. That number doubled every week that Google kept the channels down, according to RBC.”So that’s why Putin’s 2 week “military operation” is taking this long: they’re trying to recoup losses via Google…Also: holy power of exponential growth, Batman!

@stux then again. The fine was in rubles. So we just wait for a few years and Google can pay the fine with $10.

@stux No, he is very much sane and please stop claiming otherwise. Being a power-hungry ruthless dictator isn't a mental illness.Nobody expects Google to pay this money, but this is a welcome excuse to push Google/YouTube out of Russia and disrupt their services in favor of local ones that the state can control.
