A Russian court imposed this absurd fine on Google after blocking Russian propaganda channels on YouTube such as RT and other state-controlled media. The court demands that Google restore access to these channels, and if it refuses, it imposes daily fines that double every week.

The size of the fine of two undecillions of rubles (~$22.1 trillion) is clearly not comparable with either the global money supply or the real economy, which causes ironic reactions from many observers. The fine is more of a political gesture than a realistic requirement, since the amount is clearly unattainable even for such a large corporation as Google.

The case highlights the tense relationship between Russia and Western tech giants, who continue to restrict Russian content in response to sanctions and censorship policies.
