Thread: Russia Fines Google

I wonder if they’re offering some type of payment plan?

Russia Fines Google More Money Than There Is In Entire World

A Russian court has fined Google two undecillion roubles - a two followed by 36 zeroes - for restricting Russian state media channels on YouTube.
In dollar terms that means the tech giant has been told to pay $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
Despite being one of the world's wealthiest companies, that is considerably more than the $2 trillion Google is worth.
In fact, it is far greater than the world’s total GDP, which is estimated by the International Monetary Fund to be $110 trillion.

It’s not so bad. They could have asked for payment in US dollars!

Two undecillion. I work with big numbers, but that sent me scrambling to Google.

and if google doesn't pay, it will go up to 1 googol. Which is apparently the origin of Google's name, and is 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 ,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,0 00,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 roubles. So i don't think they will be paying anyway.

I am not a business man, nor a cooperate executive, but in response I would be inclined to send back a gif of a dog licking his balls....

By the time the appeals are done, and the rouble has finished bottoming, this will only be worth about $26.40 USD.

oddly the price of a pie and a hand shandy on a bouncy revalved castle at Beer O'Cock
