A Moscow court slapped Google with an unprecedented hefty fine on Friday for repeatedly failing to remove illegal content as Russian authorities pile pressure on foreign tech giants.

In this file photo taken on February 17, 2019 This illustration picture shows the Google logo displayed on a tablet in Paris. – France’s competition authority has fined Google 500 million euros, on July 13, 2021, for failing to negotiate “in good faith” with press publishers on the application of the so-called “neighbouring rights”, the remuneration due to publishers for the reproduction of their content.

But so far fines on Facebook parent company Meta, Twitter, Google have stretched into the tens of millions of rubles, not billions. Meta — which has a hearing in court later today on the same charges — has also been threatened with a revenue-based fine. The regulator also ordered Google and Apple to remove an app dedicated to Navalny’s “Smart Voting” campaign which advised supporters who to vote for to unseat Kremlin-aligned politicians.

Russia has already blocked a number of websites that have refused to cooperate with authorities, such as the video platform Dailymotion and LinkedIn.
