Google may have to pay Rs 36 lakh for these YouTube videos

A Russian court has fined Google 3.8 million roubles (nearly Rs 36 lakhs) for some YouTube videos, a report claims. Russian news agency TASS (via Reuters) reports that these videos allegedly instructed Russian soldiers on how to surrender.

This fine is part of an ongoing effort by the country to pressure foreign tech companies to remove content it deems illegal, including information it considers to be “fakes” about the war in Ukraine.
