YouTube has blocked Russian media. For this, the Russian courts have ordered the platform to pay a fine, the amount of which would double regular. And the amount of this fine would have reached an astronomical sum, since Google never restored the YouTube channels that it decided to suspend.

In a recent article, Business Insider relays an article from the Russian news agency TASS which quotes a lawyer explaining that the fine would now exceed the equivalent of $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (20 and then 33 zeros).

Google will probably never pay this fine. And even if he had the will, he wouldn’t be able to. Indeed, the company’s capitalization is $2.16 trillion, or $2.160 trillion.

  • Google suspended the YouTube channels of several Russian media outlets after the invasion of Ukraine
  • A Russian court reportedly ordered the firm to pay a fine, the amount of which has regularly doubled
  • Now the fine would exceed $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
  • This fine will never be paid, since even Google's market capitalization would not be enough
