Moscow Magistrate’s Court imposed a fine of 3 million rubles ($31,800) to US tech giant Google for failing to delete questionable information about the “special military operation in Ukraine” as well as information banned in Russia.

“[Το δικαστήριο αποφασίζει να] find Google guilty of committing an administrative offense under Section 2, Article 13.41 of the Russian Code of Administrative Offenses and impose an administrative fine of 3 million rubles,” the judge said according to TASS.

According to the case file, the company had received official notice asking her to delete videos from the YouTube platform that instructed viewers on ways to illegally enter guarded facilities, the presence of which could endanger the life and health of a person, as well as videos containing false information about the “special military operation” in Ukraine.

Earlier, the same court had repeatedly fined Google for administrative violations, including a fine of 3 million rubles in May for hosting videos on YouTube that “consisted of propaganda promoting non-traditional sexual relations,” and for defaming the Russian armed forces. .
