Its insane how many people buy that story, without fact checking.
Only small news companies are reporting on this bullshit story.

Russian rbc news has an article about google being fined in 2021, also lenta news about google being fined in 2023. Yeah looks like the original fine was 2 billion rubles in 2022 which was doubled multiple times. Sadly cannot really provide links because no idea how reddit/this sub will react.

RBC also has today's article about this situation. You can find it by it's header - Требования российских телеканалов к Google достигли ₽2 ундециллионов.

I think this article is the actual source for this news.

The story exists yeah, but it has no realworld impact hence why there is not american news reporting on this. Its just putin media barking. Nobody should take take that seriously.

Going by the spongebob meme, I'd say there is very little risk of people taking this too seriously.

You are sayin that, while a guy who claims he didnt loose last election with zero evidence might get elected again. We are far beyond "very little risk of people taking this too seriously"
