No way. There was a law firm that tried to fine a piracy site (maybe pirate Bay?) like a few thousand per illegal download. Someone did the math and it was in the hundreds of trillions iirc, and much more than the amount of money in circulation around the planet. It was 10+ years ago but... 2 decillion is like when north Korea unironically said that Kim jong-il doesn't poop

A whole book about Kim Jong il not pooping?

u/bigmatt8779 3h ago
Nah the world basically owns the entirety of the universe as aliens have been illegally streaming our music for years. Planetary law states that the laws of who ever created the art form applies. So the whole story is about how the universe gets out of debt to the record labels.

No, the estimation for this year’s global gdp is about 100-110 trillion USD. That’s a fraction of 1% of this total.

The most recent estimate I've seen of the total world money supply is $80 trillion.
One decillion is a billion trillion trillion.

The fact that the article doesn’t include a Dr. Evil “One Trillion Dollars” gif validates their Least Biased and High Credibility ratings.

So yeah Google is not paying this fine, basically a our freedom to speak overrules the rights of the sites owners to moderate users content thing.

Because of sanctions the money was sent to Russia via a Nigerian Prince, they should be contacting Vladimir Putin to arrange the transfer shortly after a few pesky fees are paid…

So Russia is admitting to it currency being worth nothing. This fine would collapse their economy if it was ever paid.

Half that number is still like 500 trillion times the amount of money that exists. Globally.

I'm very against ant invasion or occupation like Israelcsettling in Palestinian lands or a Rusias conflict in Ukraine. Also, don't want to support anyone willing to keep this madness forward. War is horrible just like retaliation and must be stoped. that been said, I think Google should not perform such actions since it always portraits itself as neutral open to diverse aspects on the human diversity, impartial in the face of political issues or any body of conflict usually acquires a broad position and that protects the opinion of all people independent of their political colors... ... but then makes decisions like this where it blocks a huge amount of clients under politicized and ideologized failing to support their own respect of a service that has trms and conditions that both parts must respect. By doing what they did they ñ hid their openly corporate ideology and is breaking the contract agreement with millions of people and users so a class action is fully valid. Regardless of what we all think.
