The restriction of content from 17 pro-Russian government channels on YouTube has led to a court there slapping Google with a fine greater than the world’s total GDP, which the International Monetary Fund has estimated to be $110 trillion.
The fine is significantly more than that and at two undecillion — two succeeded by 26 zeroes — roubles translates to $20 billion trillion trillion.
Google’s parent company Alphabet’s market value of $2 trillion pales in comparison.
