OREANDA-NEWS Due to the blocking of YouTube accounts of Russian TV channels, the required payment amount reached two undecillion rubles, RBC reports, citing a source.
"The total amount of claims of 17 Russian TV channels to Google has reached two undecillion rubles," he said.
It is noted that during the court session, which took place on Monday, October 28, the judge said that he was considering a case "in which there are many, many zeros." An undecillion is a number with 36 zeros.
According to the publication, the court imposed the specified fine on Google due to the fact that the company did not comply with the requirement to restore channels of 17 Russian media on YouTube, which belongs to Google, including: Zvezda, Channel One, VGTRK (TV channels Rossiya 1, Rossiya 24, etc.), Parliamentary Television, Moscow Media, TV Center, NTV, GPM Entertainment Television, Public Television of Russia, TV Channel 360, "St. Petersburg Shopping Mall", "Orthodox Television Foundation", "National Sports TV Channel", "Technology Company Center".
According to the court's decision, after nine months from the date of entry into force of the decision, the company is fined 100 thousand rubles daily.
Against the background of the Russian operation to demilitarize Ukraine, thousands of restrictive measures were applied against Moscow, including blocking the resources of Sputnik and RT TV channels. Facebook Instagram and social media pages are not accessible to European users of the Google search engine, and their YouTube channels and Meta* platforms have been censored (Meta* activities (Facebook* and Instagram* social networks) are banned in Russia as extremist). Many local journalists working with Russian media have been labeled "media affiliated with the Russian government."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said earlier that Moscow did not expect the West to impose sanctions on journalists, athletes, and cultural representatives. The head of the Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation, Valery Fadeev, sent an appeal to the OSCE representative on freedom of the Media, Teresa Ribeiro, and called on her to take measures to comply with the norms concerning freedom of the press due to the harassment of Russian-language publications.
