The requirements of 17 Russian television channels that they submitted to Google to the court, having blocked their accounting recordings of YouTube, exceeded 1.8 twelve -step -free types of rubles. Duidecilion is a unit with 39 zeros.
This was reported by the Russian Agency “RBC” with reference to sources known along the way.
According to one of the interlocutors, the indicated amount is the debt that has accumulated on Google until January 15 for non -compliance with the requirements to restore Russian media accounts on YouTube, the agency says.
At the end of October 2024, the debt was “only” 2 rubles of the non -cylion (unit with 36 zeros).
The case began in 2020 with the claims of the “CRIAGADA” and RIA Fan, which later joined a number of other channels and propaganda Margarita Simonyan, to the American Google LLC, Irish Google Ireland, as well as the Russian LLC “GUGL”. To restore blocked at YouTube Accounts:
- In 2021, the court ordered Google to restore access. The corporation has not fulfilled this decision within nine months, after which the fine of 100 thousand rubles began to be accused for every day of failure;
- The amount of the fine doubles weekly until the decision is fulfilled, not limiting the total amount of the fine, which, as a result, has long exceeded the total GDP of the world.
Alphabet capitalization of the Google owner on the NASDAQ exchange amounted to 2.4 trillion dollars as of January 28, 2025.
Last year, the company announced current legal issues in Russia in the second quarter, including the closure of sub -participants and fines for blocking accounts. Then the alphabet indicated that she believed that these cases would not significantly affect her activities.
After the start of a full -fledged Russian invasion of Ukraine, Google suspended activities in the Russian Federation and transferred the bulk of the local office employees to other countries.
In April 2022, the Moscow Arbitration Court arrested the property and accounts of GUGL LLC in the amount of 500 million rubles. In June of the same year, Google LLC appealed to the court with a bankruptcy statement; in October 2023, the company was declared bankrupt.
