Talk:Russian court fines Google more money than the world's entire GDP

Google's response

There does seem to be a response from Google[1] that we should report on for WN:NPOV. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:09, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit for clarity

The seventh paragraph reads: "YouTube froze its accounts following the sanctions by the United States on Russian Invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which impacted its subsidiary at Russia in bankruptcy and paused its commercial operations."

The local (Russian) YouTube is the subsidiary. It's a local subsidiary of Google.

I'm not sure what is meant by "YouTube froze its accounts..." Is that a reference to the halting of commercial operations in Russia, as reported by the BBC?

Please update that paragraph for clarity.

I have not removed the article from the review queue in case another reviewer feels it is publishable as-is or by removing the paragraph entirely. —Michael.C.Wright (^Talk/_Published) 16:05, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Michael.C.Wright, I will review this in a moment. CSM.in (talk) 16:07, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes @Michael.C.Wright, it's a reference to the halting of commercial operations in Russia. And I made the corrections. Pls see. CSM.in (talk) 16:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Date / Amount

Hey guys,

According to RT this is a fine which was issued back in 2022, for 100.000 rubles (a thousand dollars), but have reached this amount due to penalties for non-compliance.

If you can, check out the article through a VPN (or get Opera and set its "VPN" to Asia).

TASS wrote that according to the Washington Post, the amount now have surpassed the global GDP. - Xbspiro (talk) 13:52, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I can see the RT source since it is active in India. It seems to need a little change. CSM.in (talk) 14:06, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
