This is the government equivalent of “you owe me a bajillion dollars!” An unserious fine from an unserious government.
Even old-ass Dr. Evil snorted in surprise.
2 undecillion rubles ($2.5 decillion USD)
I'm sure Google is taking that real seriously.
Someone played too much Adventure Capitalist.
They could pay with one of those comically large cardboard checks, then forget to sign it.
Or they'll push it out a window.
Its from a fine that doubles every day. There's no judge literally demanding google pay this amount of money. Makes a good headline, though.
FTA: "The company’s Russian subsidiary declared bankruptcy in 2022". Its just been doubling the whole time.
Good, but not high enough for what Google has done.
Hey man, fuck google, but this isn’t achieving diddly squat lmao.
If you don't think giving a tech monopoly multiple life sentences is cool get out of my mentions.
Lemme know how that one turns out for ya bub
Yeah enjoy your reply guy account where you post Hello Fellow Kids-isms homeslice
It is how things should be, although for valid reasons, not "the banned our accounts, we mad, grrrrr". The alternative is companies getting a "fine" that's a drop in the bucket and just continuing how they did previously. If the company does shitty things and gets banned because they can't pay a huge fine because of GDPR for instance, then good riddance.
There it is, the mildest tech take on the fediverse
I am sure you would prefer shilling for Google or Israel. Tough luck.
Oo, topical and feisty. No I remember being a twentysomething, say it louder for the cheap seats etc
All you know how to do is mindlessly repeat what your bosses tell you to get your treats 😭😭😭
If Russia wanted to be the good guy, they'd hack Google and opensource all the code.
What did they do?
Hey look, we found a guy who believes in "don't be evil" in 2024! Try not to laugh!
I don't? Where did I say this? I am merely asking what they did concretely that ruffled your feathers.
That comment was overflowing with hate / anger and I want to understand why.
Master Yoda over here
So you are actually just a troll. Nice to know.
You are literally insane. You don't "sense fear and anger through the computer" you are scared and angry
