A Russian court has fined Google and Telegram a combined 18.4 million rubles, about 226,000 dollars, for failing to delete banned content, Anadolu's Russian service reports.
The fine is small by the companies' standards, but it is part of a steady Russian pressure campaign: fines, slowdowns and deletion orders aimed at forcing foreign platforms to police content to Moscow's rules.
For users, the practical effect is on what stays visible in Russia, not on the companies' bottom lines.
