On Tuesday, a Russian district court fined Alphabet’s Google 8 billion roubles ($77.9 million) for non-compliance with local laws. For several years, Russia has required foreign technology platforms to remove content it deems illegal. When companies fail to comply, it imposes small but persistent fines.
This penalty represents the latest in Russia’s efforts to enforce its regulations on foreign tech platforms. As global technology companies continue to operate within Russia, adherence to local laws remains a critical aspect of their operations.
