Moscow court finds Google guilty of disclosing data on Russian war casualties

Court documents say that the YouTube video disclosed the number of Russian servicemen killed, as well as their personal details, Reuters reported , citing the Russian news agency TASS.

The Tagansky Court of Moscow found Google guilty of Part 2 of Article 13.41 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (violation of the procedure for restricting access to information, access to which is subject to restriction in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation). The company was fined 3.8 million rubles.

For several years, Russia has been ordering foreign social media owners to remove content it considers illegal, especially regarding the war.

Recall that in October last year, a Russian court fined Google 2 undecillion rubles — that's an amount with 36 zeros. In March, the court stopped increasing Google's fine every week and returned the figure to 91.5 quintillion rubles — that's $1,092,000 trillion.

In January of this year, a Russian district court fined Google $77.9 million , or 8 billion rubles.

In December, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Google of being a tool used by the US government, led by former President Joe Biden, to "earn political points."
