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 11 points 1 week ago

I'm sure Google is taking that real seriously.

[–] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Someone played too much Adventure Capitalist.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

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

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Or they'll push it out a window.

[–] echolalia@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week 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.

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

[–] Shiggles@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week 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.

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 1 week ago (1 children)

Lemme know how that one turns out for ya bub

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There it is, the mildest tech take on the fediverse

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

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

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

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

[–] weker01@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week 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 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You are literally insane. You don't "sense fear and anger through the computer" you are scared and angry

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

But you literally are a troll. Remember, you messaged me this:

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You literally forgot which account you were on this morning when you messaged me instantly after I replied to someone else, you are walking around with a rip in your pants. You are the most pathetic person on Lemmyverse. Your account does nothing other than interact with me, and several days ago you were probably using it to reply to yourself to feel popular. You are all alone.

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

You don't have any tools other than lying and stalking, and you've been completely transparent about it.

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So you're claiming that you didn't message me that comment in that screenshot?

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're comfortable speaking to someone who has been calling you out for being a lying, alt-account making reply guy who is incapable of arguing in every single conversation you have? Every time you respond to me it's an admission that you know you havs to cheat and you still lose. You have never tricked anyone for one second

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still only have one account.

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

Do you think that when you say dumb shit online and nobody can epistemologically disprove you that it becomes real? You are completely empty handed.

[–] griefstricken@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

You are literally using stalking and manipulation to try to win on websites where it's completely unrestricted and you are still losing. You're pathetic.
