Google fined $387M by Russian court for not removing content: report
Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google unit was fined 21.8B rubles, or $387M, by a Russian court for what it said was a repeated failure to remove content deemed illegal, Reuters reported, citing the Interfax news agency.
Last month, Russia's communications agency, Roskomnadzor said that Google's (GOOG) (GOOGL) YouTube video-sharing site had "deliberately" promoted content it says is "misleading information about the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine," while adding that it is "discrediting the armed forces of the Russian Federation."

Google (GOOG) (GOOGL) has previously been fined in Russia, receiving a levy of more than 7B rubles -- the equivalent of about $143M-- for failing to delete illegal content late last year.
Google's (GOOG) (GOOGL) Russian subsidiary filed for bankruptcy last month.
Despite the bankruptcy filing, free Google services, such as Google Search, YouTube, Gmail, Maps, and Google Play will remain accessible in Russia.
Last week, it was reported the Department of Justice was likely to reject Google's (GOOG) (GOOGL) offer to split its advertising technology business as a concession and go ahead with an antitrust lawsuit over its influence on the online advertising market.
