$20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, i.e $2.5 decillion for allegedly blocking pro-Kremlin propaganda on YouTube.
Russia fined Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - that’s 2.5 trillion trillion trillion dollars after the US tech giant took action against Putin's propaganda.
Google has been fined in Russia for removing Russian TV channels from YouTube. The size of the penalty, however, swelled to an unprecedented level over the past 4 years, since the court case started in Russia against the tech giant.
The violations cost the tech giant 2 undecillion rubles or $20 decillion (a 33-digit figure), according to lawyer Ivan Morozov, cited by Russian state news agency TASS.
To put that into perspective, global GDP reaches an estimated $110 thousand billion (12-digit figure), according to the IMF.
