Russia wants Google to pay a $20 decillion fine for blocking YouTube channels


That's 2 with 34 zeros.

Russia wants Google to pay an unfathomable amount of money in fines: $20 decillion, reportedly. The fine has been accruing and doubling weekly since 2020 after Kremlin-backed news services Tsargrad and RIA FAN won court cases over the blocking of their YouTube channels, wrote The Moscow Times, citing a report from the Russian news service RBC. The fine has also grown as 15 other channels have won cases against Google, bringing the total to — wait for it — 20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, Gizmodo reported.
