        Yepyep, did the same on mine, I just zoomed the page out.

        Honestly, really hope they did this on purpose, although I’ve seen plenty of cases where someone forgot to scale the text to Mobile and it went careening off-screen.

    And the fact that Google didn’t pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google’s operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google’s operations. They didn’t even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don’t really care who does or doesn’t believe them.

      They didn’t start with that fine, it was just compounding interest

      The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

      And regardless, Russia can’t block Google’s operations in Russia because Google isn’t operating in Russia since the war. Russia is trying to fire Google when Google quit 2 years ago.

    What’s that number in words? Sure. I could use Google, but they just got fined by Russia for $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 so can they really be trusted?

    I was going to say Russia must love humiliating themselves but I guess this is painfully obvious the past 2 years

    Google would therefore have to find more money than exists on Earth to pay Moscow

    Well to be fair, I do think it’s plausible that one day Google will indeed control all the money in the world.

    They know this is impossible - even with their worthless currency. I guess they will soon provide their own services or they will revoke internet access from their citizens.

      According to the Article:

      Google in Russia has been inactive since 2022 after the search giant effectively pulled out of the country following Putin’s special military operation.

      Is Yandex not state run? It does everything, the way Musk wants Xitter to, and then some.

        Yes, but users with basic knowledge don’t even get the difference between a web browser and a search engine. Shutting down Google seems like a perfect “simple” explanation for a general digital lockdown.
