A Moscow court has found Google, owned by U.S. tech giant Alphabet, guilty of disclosing personal data of Russian servicemen killed in Ukraine, Russia’s state-run TASS news agency reported on April 21.

The ruling reportedly stems from a YouTube video that allegedly revealed both casualty figures and personal details of Russian soldiers killed during the full-scale invasion.

The court found Google guilty under Article 13.41(2) of Russia’s administrative code, which covers the “violation of procedures for restricting access to information that must be limited under Russian law.” The company was fined 3.8 million rubles (approximately $45,000), according to the court ruling.

I cannot find a proper link to the relevant video. If anyone can find it please link it.

    No it doesn’t. Google doesn’t give a shit about Russia. It’s blocked there anyway.

      Google was already fined $20 decillion dollars by Russia, so I am fairly sure that $45k isn’t going to mean much to them.
