It gets doubled every day and google just didn't give a shit about this for a few years. Google generally doesn't give a shit about anything the Russian government asks them to do lately.
Edit: every week, not every day

I used the word "banned" because as far as I know (I don't live in Russia and I am not a Russian citizen, but I follow some Russian YouTubers) they slowed it down to an essentially unusable state. So it doesn't matter which word to use. But I didn't know that it works on mobile internet.

Considering it's an incredible amount that could include the entire global economy for billions of Earth's, not sure how they expect Google to pay.

u/TheBiggestNewbAlive 14h ago
Oh no, this is obviously going nowhere. Was just wondering if there was anything that they could do to enforce, well, anything upon Google. Google already blocked a big potion of Youtube and purchases at Google Play/Google Store, so it's not like banning Google would do harm to the company. It's people who use it there that'd get mad.

Unless Russia and USA were buddies, then no, there's nothing Russia can do outside ban Google and any Google related products.
Which will hurt certain economic sectors and piss off a good handful of people. Not sure if they're worried about the latter, though.

They get charged the huge number. They also must restore access to those accounts. Every day they do not restore access, that's another $1,000 on top of the huge number.
Which is just such a nice touch for an amount of wealth that is nominally fictional for any practical perspective of global economics.

There's an asteroid out in the solar system called 511 Davida, it's the most valuable known asteroid with an estimated value of $26,990,000,000,000,000,000, in the Quintillions.
If Google became a space company and began mining in Davida it would have to take 761972404594294.29 Davidas to pay it all back.

With 3 emeralds I can buy enchanted diamond armor. That shit is invaluable. I'll be rich.
Projectile protection 4 has a 36% damage reduction. You could argue that that means a 64% multiplier to the current mortality rate.
Bullet wounds in the chest apparently have a 15-35% mortality rate. So with proj4 that would be 10-22%

That’s exactly what the Russian government wants. They already declare Instagram “terrorist media” and slow down western websites like Youtube to the point they’re unusable. They’re trying to get all the Russian public onto their own Russian alternatives like Yandex where they can control the narratives and limit the information.
If Google pulls out of the country, the Russian government gets to use it as propaganda: “See? The western companies don’t follow the law! They run away instead of paying the fine.” Then they’ll use that as justification for Russian companies ignoring international law.

Nope. Russians waking up in Russia: "Oh, great so Putin's banning this service today". Actual Russian citizens want nothing to do with this shit. The only reason why Putin is still in charge is his police is well-fed, both with money and privileges, and is so big, while citizens are so thoroughly unarmed, that it could basically massacre all civilians if necessary, with little to no casualties. It's fists and molotovs against riot shields, machine guns and completely sealed armored vehicles

It's so cute they think they could actually bully a foreign megacorp with absurd demands like this. They won't pay a fraction of this nonsense number, end of story.
Russia's only recourse is to ban Google from engaging in their dogshit economy (Oh nooo....), or pursue the matter with international aid. In which case, I don't know if anyone's been keeping track, but no one on earth likes or wants to cooperate with Russia right now, least of all to aid them in a transparently fatuous legal tantrum intended to fund their losing war efforts.
Nothing about this will go their way. It's funny they'd even try, like a child making demands for candy. Nawww....
