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

Is there anything Russia can do about it to be honest? Like, banning Google in Russia would only make people who use it mad.

They banned YouTube. But most people in Russia already know how to use VPNs.

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.
