Russia Fines Google $38,000 for Failing to Remove Banned Content
A Russian district court has fined Alphabet Inc., Google’s parent company, 3.8 million roubles ($38,057) for failing to remove content that the Russian government has deemed illegal.
Russia has been cracking down on foreign technology platforms in recent years, ordering them to remove content it considers harmful or illegal. The government has issued ongoing, smaller fines to companies like Google for non-compliance with these regulations, and this latest penalty continues that trend.
The case highlights the ongoing tensions between Russian authorities and global tech companies over content moderation and censorship.
