Failing (and flailing) dictator Putin gets angry at the existence of gay people, has his courts fine Google FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS for saying that they do in fact exist.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zacharyfolk/2023/12/20/russia-claims-google-hosts-extremist-lgbtq-content-levies-50-million-fine/?sh=354de4d72d3a A Russian court fined Google 4.6 billion rubles, or over $50 million, on Wednesday for refusing the government’s demand to take down “disinformation” about the Ukraine war and hosting LGBTQ content on YouTube—which Russia has deemed “extremist.”
Moscow’s Tagansky Court ruled against the tech giant at a hearing on Monday, finding YouTube refused “repeated” demands to remove LGBTQ content and content about the “special military operation”—the Russian government’s preferred name for the war in Ukraine.
Russian prosecutors claim videos posted on YouTube “spread LGBT values” and sought to convince “minors to commit illegal actions,” Russia’s state-owned news agency RIA Novosti reported.
This is the steepest fine the search engine has faced in Russia related to spreading information about the LGBTQ movement—which was banned by the country’s Supreme Court in November.
Russia has previously fined the search engine billions of rubles for hosting information about the Russian military—imposing a 7.2 billion ruble ($79 million) fine in 2021 and a 21.7 billion ruble ($238 million) fine in 2022—which prompted Google to pull all employees out of the country, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Google has not returned a request for comment from Forbes.

The fines come amid an increasing crackdown in Russia against LGBTQ people. The Russian Supreme Court banned what it called the “international LGBT movement” earlier this year, labeling it an “extremist organization.” Joining or funding an organization labeled extremist is punishable by up to 12 years in prison, according to the Russian criminal code. The move came after a decade of increasing restrictions on LGBTQ rights. The Russian legislature banned the distribution of “LGBT propaganda” to minors in 2013, and expanded that ban to include people of all ages in November 2022. After the amended ban passed, Russian courts fined Google another 3 million rubles, or $39,000, in May, Reuters reported.

>>1248965 How is the Google search engine better than any other search engine? Google search used to be great for finding obscure content on the Internet but now it doesn't seem to be any better.

>>1248950 If Putin kills all fags and makes this policy permanent and impossible to revoke I'm moving to Russian and I don't care what anyone says about it.
The only problem is I'd have to find a place that isn't Canadian tier shitty to live.
I wonder if Crimea is nice this time of year?

I think not.

>>1249338 The definition you use for LGBTQ is one no one else in the world uses. A grown man raping a little girl is, by definition, heterosexual. Your feeble attempts at consensus cracking don't work.

>>1249339 Once again, this definition comes from LGBTQ activists.
>A grown man raping a little girl is, by definition, heterosexual. No it isn't because most chomos don't have a sex preference. The majority of men who rape boys are straight men.
Read you source you posted the last few times this conversation started.

The only difference here is this tech company will just ignore the fine.
But yes, it's Russia so it really doesn't matter what they do.
