Source: US News & World Report

“A Russian court has fined Alphabet’s Google 3.8 million roubles ($41,530) for hosting content on YouTube that included videos instructing Russian soldiers how to surrender, Russia’s TASS news agency reported on Monday. Russia has for several years ordered foreign technology platforms to remove content it deems illegal, such as what it calls ‘fakes’ about the war in Ukraine, issuing small but persistent fines when it sees failures to comply.” (02/17/25)
