Russia will fine Google for not blocking banned websites

Russia has announced its intention to fine Google. The reason for this fine to the Internet giant is that they have not complied with Russian regulations and have not blocked some web pages that are prohibited in the country. Since when doing a search in the company's search engine, these links continued to appear normally. Something that according to the government should not be like this.

The civil case has already been opened, with which this fine could reach the American company. The amount to pay could reach 700, 000 rubles, which is about $ 10, 000.

Russia vs. Google

It seems that this Russian fine against Google is somewhat more symbolic, especially given the derisory amount that the company would have to pay. Especially if we compare it with the fine of several billions that the European Union imposed on the firm a few months ago. Although it reflects the censorship that exists in the country, in addition to the possible problems that the company faces in it.

Currently, there are many web pages that cannot be accessed in Russia. LinkedIn is one of them, although there are many more, in addition to applications, such as Telegram, which continues to have many problems operating in its country.

We will see if Google finally gets such a fine, as well as if there will be problems or measures by Russia against the company. It would not be strange, but at the moment nothing has been mentioned about it. We will be attentive to the evolution of history.
