Google dodging huge financial penalties imposed by regulator for excessive blocking of legitimate content

A Russian court has fined Google $2.5 decillion for allegedly blocking pro-Kremlin propaganda on YouTube. The fine, which is the equivalent of $2.5 trillion trillion trillion, is the result of four years of accumulated fines, with the figure currently doubling every week under Russian law.

…be honest, you thought this was going to be about the European Union, didn’t you?

Reflect upon that for a moment, maybe?

    Not being a mathematician (or taking the time to do math homework), it might have been more fun to fine them one googol rubles.

    Even better a googolplex rubles. 😉

    It was in the 5th grade in the 1970’s when I learned about those numbers.

    And to blow our minds, they shouldn’t double the fine, but factorial it! 🙂
