Russia fined Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - that’s 2.5 trillion trillion trillion dollars after the US tech giant took action against Putin’s propaganda.

    Sure would be a shame if all Google services stopped working in Russia and russosympathetic nations, and people’s accounts that got accessed from primarily Russian locations get banned.

      Does it really help to isolate them from the rest of the world even more? It’s kind of what those dictators are trying to do in the first place.

        Does it helps helping them censure the web ? It’s kinda what those dictators are trying to do in the first place.

        Like seriously, there is no winning with those kind of people. They only way to win the game is to not play.

          I mean, they are trying and failing to censure the web to their benefit. Hence the “fines”. Hypothetically, due to fines those services will be blocked anyway, that’s mostly the point.
