Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
good start to my day
double it and give it to the next person
Respect the rules based order 
presumably they started with a base fine of $20 and simply multiplied it by 1000 for each of their time zones
If I do remember correctly, they fined google 100k or so a few years ago, and said they're gonna double the fine after each week of non-compliance
i mean this is like textbook trolling but redditors will get very mad and nude about it
Yeah seen a bunch of them go "heh yeah right like that's a rational number silly russians! And good luck collecting it!" 
It's pretty obviously mocking. There wouldn't be any number google would find acceptable, so might as well ahve fun with it
Won’t someone think of the giant multinational corporations?!? 😔
i mean this is like textbook trolling but redditors will get very mad and nude about it
I am mad and nude right now

At this point, he should've fined them a googol dollars. 
Idle Clicker game numbers
Fined for $2e22
gonna need plenty of babushkas to pay that cookie clicker ass fine
The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.
cool
Fining Google one grain of rice the first day, two the second day, four the third day, and doubling every day afterwards
I mean, all ultra nationalist websites should be de-indexed everywhere but that's no reason to stand in the way of this tremendous and beautiful fine.
Wtf is Tsargrad, sounds like imperial monarch fartsniffing
Imperial monarch fartsniffing with fascist characteristics, yeah.
Welp, 
let them fight I guess
It is.
give us a zillion dollars
This is how you know the soviets had a comically large spoon...modern Russia has comically large interest rates. How do you think they plan on collecting all that Google money? Scooping it up with the spoon and catapulting it by using a comically large pencil under the spoon before every Russian jumps on the spoon.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Google deserves it and more LMAO... whatever the reasoning, based. I hope someday every single country the west has smeared (ie. all of them) joins in on the legal shitposting.
Slap on the wrist smdh hedd
Lmao
That's alpha
From what I’ve been able to find, it sounds like Article 13.41 is designed to penalize refusal to remove objectionable content. Here, it’s apparently being applied to Google’s refusal to restore specific content? Seems like a stretch to me, but it does make for a funny headline
I wanna see ol' Google wiggle their way out of this one... / s
The bizarre amount has been calculated after a four-year court case that started after YouTube banned the ultra-nationalist Russian channel Tsargrad in 2020 in response to the US sanctions imposed against its owner.
Ultranationalist, more like Ultrabatshit
lol. lmao even
Death to America
Childish and stupid. Signs of an impotent regime.
Nah it's funny
Putin does a little trolling and you go and call him impotent. How rude
