Kathmandu. A Russian court has fined Google 3.8 million rubles. Which is equivalent to about 5.8 million Nepali rupees when converted into Nepali currency.
In Russia, YouTube was hosting some videos. In which Russian soldiers were instructed to surrender. This information was given by the Russian news agency TASS. Google has not responded to the fine imposed by Russia.
Russia is monitoring foreign technology companies and ordering them to remove illegal content from the platform. This includes fake information related to the Ukraine war.
YouTube is still one of the major foreign platforms available in Russia. There has been long-standing tension between Russian and Western technology companies, and the fine imposed on Google has only increased that tension.
Russian President Vladimir Putin made serious accusations against Google in December, saying it was advancing the US government’s political agenda. –Agency
