LIFT YOUTUBE BAN ON RUSSIAN BROADCASTERS OR FACE HUGE FINE, KREMLIN TO GOOGLE

Fri 01 November 2024:

The Kremlin announced Thursday that a massive fine imposed on Google is intended to encourage the U.S. tech giant to reconsider its restrictions on Russian channels on YouTube. During a Moscow press briefing, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov explained, “These demands illustrate the essence of our broadcasters’ complaints against Google. The platform should not restrict our TV channels domestically, yet it does so. This should serve as a signal for Google’s management to address the situation. That’s the best course of action.”

Local reports indicate that Google’s unpaid fines in Russia have now reached an astronomical 2 undecillion rubles ($2.5 decillion) and are growing due to late payment penalties.
