The Dhaka Times Desk A Moscow court fined Google 7.2 billion rubles, or $98 million, for repeatedly failing to remove content deemed illegal in Russia.
However, the press service announcement of the court did not mention any details about the objectionable content. This is the first time in Russia that a tech giant has been fined based on their annual turnover. Google officials told AFP that they would consider the court's ruling before deciding on next steps. Russian authorities have stepped up pressure on tech companies this year. They accused the companies of not properly regulating content and interfering in the country's internal affairs.
On the other hand, shortly after Google was fined, the Russian court also fined popular social media platform Facebook's parent company Meta about $27 million for the same issue, i.e. failure to remove banned content.
Notably, earlier this week Twitter was also fined for similar allegations. Twitter also handed over 3 million rubles of the fine to Russian authorities.
