This is the government equivalent of “you owe me a bajillion dollars!” An unserious fine from an unserious government.

Even old-ass Dr. Evil snorted in surprise.

2 undecillion rubles ($2.5 decillion USD)

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

I'm sure Google is taking that real seriously.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

They could pay with one of those comically large cardboard checks, then forget to sign it.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Or they'll push it out a window.

Someone played too much Adventure Capitalist.

Good, but not high enough for what Google has done.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Hey man, fuck google, but this isn’t achieving diddly squat lmao.

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If you don't think giving a tech monopoly multiple life sentences is cool get out of my mentions.

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Lemme know how that one turns out for ya bub

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

Yeah enjoy your reply guy account where you post Hello Fellow Kids-isms homeslice

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It is how things should be, although for valid reasons, not "the banned our accounts, we mad, grrrrr". The alternative is companies getting a "fine" that's a drop in the bucket and just continuing how they did previously. If the company does shitty things and gets banned because they can't pay a huge fine because of GDPR for instance, then good riddance.

There it is, the mildest tech take on the fediverse

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I am sure you would prefer shilling for Google or Israel. Tough luck.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oo, topical and feisty. No I remember being a twentysomething, say it louder for the cheap seats etc

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

All you know how to do is mindlessly repeat what your bosses tell you to get your treats 😭😭😭

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 3 points 3 months ago

If Russia wanted to be the good guy, they'd hack Google and opensource all the code.

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What did they do?

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hey look, we found a guy who believes in "don't be evil" in 2024! Try not to laugh!

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't? Where did I say this? I am merely asking what they did concretely that ruffled your feathers.

That comment was overflowing with hate / anger and I want to understand why.

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Master Yoda over here

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So you are actually just a troll. Nice to know.

[–] echolalia@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Its from a fine that doubles every day. There's no judge literally demanding google pay this amount of money. Makes a good headline, though.

FTA: "The company’s Russian subsidiary declared bankruptcy in 2022". Its just been doubling the whole time.
